This type of gardens, consisting of plants that are suitable for dry climates, and where the water evaporation from the plants is minimal, and thus need an insignificant amount of watering or rainfall, is most appropriate for places such as Caracas, and other even drier zones, where the drought period is very prolonged each year. As one of the characteristics of these gardens is the absence of grass, loose sandy soil is utilised as the base material of the garden, and this is covered with white river pebbles, and sometimes with clean sand. The varying heights of the plants, their surfaces and colours, and the integration of the mineral elements, such as pebbles, and the plants themselves, help to heighten the charm and beauty of these gardens.
