Drier climates can also have gorgeous yards

These committed homeowners, in Arizona - USA, are transforming their barren front yard to bird and pollinator habitat adding desert shrubs and native flowering plants.

This property created an gorgeous xeriscape adding 21 native plants which has already attracted 15 insects species (8 of which are pollinators), a variety of reptiles and more than 20 new birds were seen enjoying the new landscape.

This is what it looked like before:

They certainly can, and the flowers on cacti and succulents are stunning.

Xeriscaping, I wish I lived in a place where it was more popular.
