In the wake of recent federal budget cuts, the National Park Service (NPS) and the US Forest Service have been forced to lay off thousands of employees. These layoffs disproportionately impact those responsible for maintaining trails, conserving biodiversity, and educating visitors. With fewer hands to care for these spaces, both the ecosystems within them and the visiting public may be left increasingly vulnerable.
Native plants that thrive in extreme heat have developed unique features over time that make them particularly suited for harsh, dry climates. These features help them conserve water, tolerate drought, and withstand high temperatures.
This guide will take you step-by-step through the essentials of creating a native plant garden, from understanding your environment to choosing the perfect plants, getting your soil ready, and keeping your garden thriving.
