The Dry garden style at a glance
The dry garden is an answer to ever hotter summers. It brings together plants that can withstand drought: succulents, hardy cacti, agaves, yuccas and grasses. Mineral gravel covers the soil and keeps moisture in, while large stones structure the space. The graphic shapes of the plants create a sculptural setting that needs very little water and care.
To plan it, prepare well-draining soil mixed with sand and gravel, and group plants by size. Planting on mounds improves drainage even more. Choose species suited to your winter climate. With Redeko, take a photo of your garden and choose Dry garden: the AI keeps the house and perspective and creates this mineral garden, so you can see the effect before planting.
This style suits very sunny gardens, slopes and front yards. It sits close to the Mediterranean garden, and light-colored stone mulch reflects the sunlight. Large pots of agave also work well on a sunny terrace.
