Spring in Israel (2016 season) 


Come for the History, Enjoy the Trees and Flowers 


Spring Flower Pictures of Tel Aviv (April 2010) 


Independence day - warm - dry We have been having a drought for the last five years. This summer Tel Aviv will cut down on watering parks all over the city. There is also a ban on watering private lawns. But somehow it does not seem to worry too many people. After all, the idea of a "green line" is a testament to people turning desert into green. Before the international media and the Palestinians turned the "green line" into a political phrase it was a geographic term. From the air you can see the outline of Israel in green. How about that for green living? Eventually the water had to end - maybe we were just too ambitious.

The nice result of drought is how people compensate. It seems like there are many less water thirsty alternatives in the flower shops. It also seems like people can do with less ambitious gardens. A friend had a huge porch full of green bushes. On highrise residential buildings people with porches or large windows tend to build their own little garden, it's an alternative to having a small garden on the first floor. Well, this friend decided to get rid of all the high water demand plants. So she put in indigenous grasses and plants. There was not much demand for local plants for a while... Is this a trend we should all follow? not just in Tel Aviv, Israel? Posted by Ami Vider at 9:36 AM 0 comments Links to this post
