We’re in the middle of a drought but my garden is thriving! Here’s why🧐#garden #plants #drought
In this solo on‑camera segment, Nicole Johnsey Burke explains how her garden thrives despite an ongoing drought and a broken irrigation system. She hand‑waters only once or twice a week yet maintains lush growth by employing a dense, multi‑layer planting strategy. The garden is organized into five rows: tall fruiting plants occupy the central row, root crops are tucked beneath the side rows, and leafy greens, herbs, and flowers line the outer edges. She also demonstrates a vertical planting method using an obelisk surrounded by the same plant species, with fruiting plants climbing the structure and companion herbs and flowers on the perimeter. Nicole argues that planting more vegetation—eliminating bare soil—actually reduces overall water demand, counter to the common belief that fewer plants need less water. She directs viewers to downloadable planting plans linked below the video for detailed implementation.
