The public company of Xàbia brings together the ecological advantages of “xeriscaping” within its campaign for a responsible consumption of water resources. The xerojardinería is to plan a garden under the criterion of making a rational use of water. In these gardens, as is the case of the typical Mediterranean garden, large areas of turf will not predominate (this is the main water consumer, taking 70% of the irrigation) and exotic flowers or plants that require a lot of water will be discarded. Among its actions to promote a more rational consumption of water resources, the municipal water company of Xàbia -Amjasa - offered yesterday a workshop on sustainable and Mediterranean gardening. The intention was to give the keys to achieve a green garden, beautiful and with flowers all year, but with a much lower consumption. Amjasa offers a Mediterranean gardening workshop
