Dubai’s extreme climate, with its scorching summers and minimal rainfall, makes choosing the right plants essential for a thriving landscape. Low-maintenance, drought-resistant plants not only conserve water but also enhance the beauty of gardens without constant upkeep. At Kame Landscape and Pools, we take landscaping to the next level with our dedicated plant division, Kame Gardens (kamegardens.ae), where we grow all our plants in-house. This ensures premium quality and a tailored selection perfect for Dubai’s unique climate.
