<human>:  How can I reduce my water usage and still have a lush and vibrant landscape?
<bot>: One way to reduce your water usage while maintaining a lush and vibrant landscape is to use native plants that are adapted to your climate. Native plants require much less water than non-native species and will help maintain a healthy garden for you. Additionally, using mulch, such as wood chips, around your plants helps reduce water loss, as does ensuring you are using efficient irrigation systems for watering. Additionally, using water only when needed and avoiding over-watering your plants can also help conserve water.
