For greenery in urban areas...

1. GREENERY IN
URBAN AREAS

2. FOOD FIRST – LAWNS NEXT
At least 20% of greenery should address food security…

3. POLY / GREEN HOUSES
WALKWAYS, PARKS & TRAFFIC ISLANDS

4. Consider..
Multi-culture and
biodiversity
Native species
Multi-purpose
plants
Farming systems
for demonstration
and dissemination
Adopt appropriate
technology
Monitoring for
management

6. Why Drought Tolerant
Plants
Drought tolerant plants are not limited
to cacti and succulents. There are
thousands of species of beautiful
flowers, shrubs, vines and ground
covers that are “un” thirsty and could
save more than 50% of the water used
in a more traditional landscape.

7. Why Drought Tolerant
Plants
Drought tolerant gardening also involves
sensible management like installation of
drip irrigation systems, timers, water
sensors, and above all, MULCH! Mulching
and composting beds will improve soil
quality, reduce evaporation and encourage
better water absorption.
Native plants, those plants which naturally
grow in our climate, need only about half as
much water as most exotic species.
They also provide habitat for our native
birds and butterflies.
