Are you feeling guilty about the amount of water you’re putting on your lawn this summer?  That’s healthy guilt.  Deal with it rationally by making plans now to convert some of your landscaping to native plants and herbs next summer.  Wildflowers and herbs (lavender and rosemary are beautiful additions to any garden) are hardy and require less water than many other plants.   Native plants have evolved in the Arkansas heat and will survive the punishment of a hot, dry summer.  You can check out options for native plantings at  Arkansas Plant and Resources .  Your new landscaping will require watering until it’s established, but you can look forward to a guilt-free garden for years to come.
