Using the right plant materials can dramatically reduce water usage

Hey, Eric with Lush Green again here, still in Fort Collins at the zero scape demonstration garden. Another interesting fact here which would be very similar to the western slope is that 40% of the water used here in Fort Collins is for watering gardens and lawns. Well, on the western slope of Colorado, obviously, a lot of water because there is very little rain and so everything that’s green is because we’re watering it. So by changing to a Xeric landscape if we use 25 to 50%, less than 40% of our water is being used for that. So here in Fort Collins obviously, make it have 20% less water used by everyone having Xericscapes.
