The Dehydrated Gardener: The Desert-Dweller's 3-Part Guide to Xeriscaping

Prepare for Drought Disasters, Become a Native Plant Pro and Get the Desert Landscape of Your Dreams

By: Wes Tillman

Narrated by: Ryan Furukawa

Do you want to discover the secrets of drought-proofing your lawn? Do you want to become an expert on “super” plants native to your desert climate? Do you want to save time, money and water on your landscape without sacrificing on curb appeal?

You're certainly not alone. According to a 2021 study from the IPCC, conditions of extreme drought are 1.7x more likely than they were 100 years ago. That is, at any given time we are nearly twice as likely to be experiencing an extreme drought than our desert-dwelling ancestors had a century ago. And this problem is not trending in the right direction. Though drought conditions can impact so many areas of our lives, the beauty and diversity of our lawns does not have to be one of them.

As desert landscaper Steve Martino says: “It’s taken native plants a million years to get it right. Why fight it?”

In this book, you will discover:

• The drought-tolerant, low-water super plants specific to your desert region
• The most effective methods of turf removal to make room for more water-conscious ground covers (including the method I always use myself)
• The secrets to companion planting in the desert
• How to cultivate a self-sufficient homestead even in the harshest desert conditions
• And so much more....

Best of all, this guide is so easy to follow that you can become a desert plant expert and gardening genius even if you've never been able to keep a plant alive for longer than two weeks.

The Dehydrated Gardener is going to fix that! If you want to save time, money and water and get a landscape that takes your friends’ breath away, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button.

I’m ready for my dehydrated paradise!

Living in California, I have had to change my thoughts on what my landscape should look like. Here in California we get penalized with high bills for using too much water due to a persistent drought. While many of my neighbors are letting their lawns, go dry, yellow and die, I now feel empowered and eager to create my own dehydrated paradise. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to cut down on their water bill or in just creating a beautiful garden. There are many valuable gems in this book. Wes Tillman does an amazing job, not just informing and educating but also getting the reader excited about all the gardening possibilities. This is a must purchase book!

I just moved from a very rainy area to a very dry area and I was hoping for some information on plants that will work well in dry regions. This audiobook gave me so much more. I learned about the methods and plants needed to having a thriving xeriscaped landscape. Great for a beginner like me.

As someone who lives in a high desert climate and has struggled with landscaping in the past this was the exact book I needed to finally turn my property into an oasis.
