Drought resistant Plant Materials to create UNBEATABLE Curb Appeal!
April 2, 2011 12:50 amDroughts are very common in the summer months. This can be very detrimental for homeowners who are attempting to keep their homes exterior in tip-top condition while listed for sale.

Rain and Water Barrels are a great alternative to collect water for future watering when it rains. However if the drought in your area is more severe, and you’re trying to be environmentally friendly and not water daily or weekly, tougher drought resistant plants may be necessary. I have compiled a list of several drought resistant plants that are tried and true performers in Northern climates.
