Drought How you can save your garden when water use is limited

The article discusses strategies for garden owners in Switzerland to protect their gardens during periods of restricted water usage due to prolonged drought. It provides tips such as selecting drought-resistant plants, installing rainwater collection systems, and prioritizing certain types of vegetation over others. According to gardener Stéphane Constantin, young trees and shrubs should take precedence, followed by potted plants, perennials, and flowers. Vegetable gardens are considered more sensitive but watering is often still permitted there. Lawns have the lowest priority since they enter a dormant phase during dry spells. The article also notes that while Switzerland does not face immediate drinking water shortages, regional conflicts over water use could arise due to localized drought conditions.
