M. Young Botanic Garden in Kerman, California, is a 2.5-acre botanical garden built around drought-tolerant landscaping and low water use. Every plant was selected for its ability to thrive with limited water, reflecting an emphasis on conservation. One section highlights trees, shrubs, and ground covers native to the Southwest. Another area is planned as 12 distinct gardens focused on water conservation, some designed with paths, arbors, patios, and seating areas. The garden is significant as a landscape devoted to practical, water-wise planting in a dry region.
