Six straightforward principles can be followed by gardeners wanting to adapt an existing garden, as well as those wanting to design a water-wise garden from scratch. 'Water-saving Gardening' offers some of the quickest and easiest ways to reduce water consumption. Just as importantly, a water-wise garden is not boring and dry-looking, but as colourful, interesting, practical and varied as our current gardens.
