With the continued evidence of climate change – increasing temperatures, drought conditions, and extreme storms and natural disasters like wildfires – it is imperative that we all make changes for the benefit of future generations. Sustainability is a big priority and business model for Mountain Roots, and this year water conservation is imperative with our record low snowpack.
There is a big misconception that water wise, xeriscape gardening is all hardscape and rocks with no color. However focusing on a few principles like proper plant selection, soil health, minimal turf areas, and watering schedules, we can create beautiful, colorful gardens that can thrive in the future.
It can be overwhelming when thinking about making big changes and living a 100% pure and sustainable lifestyle. Start with small changes and modify your existing routines. The reality is that our kids and grandkids might not be able enjoy the same mountain activities that we love. We are in this together.
