Save Money with a Drought Tolerant Garden

Going drought-tolerant to save money (and the planet)

Frank McDonough, a botanist with the Los Angeles County Arboretum, readily admits that estimating what families might save on water bills by putting in a drought tolerant garden is almost impossible. To be sure, drought-tolerant plants can thrive on a fraction of the water required by a traditional lawn.

Gardening For Fun and Profit, Herbs

Growing Herbs

If you’ve ever gone out to buy fresh herbs for a recipe, you’ll immediately understand why it makes sense to grow your own. Tiny packets of not-so-fresh thyme and oregano cost $1 – $3 in the market. And if you made the mistake of buying more than you could immediately use, your herbs would almost certainly spoil before you could use them in another meal.

About Me

About Me

Mother & Writer & Financial Philosopher

Hi. My name is Kathy Kristof and I write about money. That’s not because I particularly care about money. I’m not storing a pile of gold bars in the basement; nor do I pine for the day when I can buy 5-carat diamonds, a Lamborghini and a 9-bedroom house in the Hamptons. I write about money because freedom is incredibly important to me.
