We proudly offer to the hard working yard keeper,
who is faced with a dwindling water supply and higher water rates,
an alternative yard that is not wilting, and yet appealing to on lookers.
This alternative is:
Native Desert Plants in your yard that require little attention
and hardly any water.
We offer a package of plants or seeds that allows you to
gradually convert a small portion of your yard at a time, to the
desert scene, with instructions on "HOW TO"
included.
This is a Web Site with Native Desert Plants and Seeds,
that originate in the Chihuahuan desert of
West Texas. Every thing in the desert either "sticks
you", "stings you" or "bites you". We
spotlight the GENESIS "StickYou", and do so very
carefully. Plants listed here have the personality of Tough, Mean, Cruel, Unforgiving and down right Ornery but still have the
beauty of Mother Nature and all the pretty flowers and fragrant smell of the best. These plants in your yard will allow you to go
to the golf course or fishing, instead of mowing the lawn and
paying a high water bill. Don't make a major project out of
xeroscaping your yard, begin in an isolated corner and add a
little each time. The rewards are many.
One method to get started in a small way is to locate
the spot on your lawn that you have a hard time mowing because of
the shape. Lay out the boundary and take a look at it. Imagine
the area filled in with cheap, low grade dirt that will make the
area higher like a mound. Desert plants love low grade soil and
thrive in it. Except for the border, the grass can stay in place
with a plastic cover over it. The plastic will serve two
purposes. The first will keep the grass from growing up through
the dirt and the second to keep the water from rising up from the
bottom. Desert plants thrive in well drained shallow soil. Repeat
this process with as small of an area that fits your time
schedule until you have a DESERT YARD with little up keep and
water use.
