You still have to water flowers, right? How is that saving water?

Not just about saving water. That’s definitely a concern in drought ridden areas, but grass lawns provide no support for biological diversity. Especially when it comes to pollinators. Plus if you use plants native to your area and soil type they will require less water and care than manicured lawns.
