With only an average of 11 inches of rain a year on average, San Diego’s hot dry climate can be tough on garden plants. On this episode, host Nan Sterman takes us to a look at climate appropriate gardens in home and commercial landscapes. From low water plants, to water smart designs, we’ll show you beautiful gardens that are low water winners.
