The right plant in the right place

Your garden is unique. As well as local soil conditions and climate, individual sites have different amounts of sunlight and exposure, and can have areas that are more damp or dry.

If you understand your garden, you can get the right plants to thrive in your conditions, which will help you save water. For instance, you’ll know that you can't plant 'thirsty' plants in hot, sunny areas because keeping them properly watered will be hard work.

Getting the right plants for your garden is easy, and doesn't mean you can't have some of the plants you love. Choose water-wise plants, group plants by water needs, plant in the right places, and be wise about water when you use pots, and you'll have a great looking garden that needs less water.
