dry garden

Drought-tolerant plant arrangement

A dry garden is a landscape designed to thrive with minimal water, using drought-tolerant plants, gravel, stone, and sparse vegetation.

The style draws from Japanese rock gardens (karesansui) and Mediterranean or desert climates where water is scarce.

Dry gardens emphasize texture and structure over lush greenery: The dry garden featured native succulents and decomposed granite paths.
