Our Story

A Rain Dance was created by Rain Davies and Alexandria Lopez, two passionate gardeners who believe in the importance of water conservation and sustainable gardening practices. Their years of experience gardening in water-limited regions, combined with a belief that gardens can thrive even with less water, led them to create a Rain Dance as a resource for gardeners seeking to garden sustainably and water-wisely.

Rain brings his expertise in drought-tolerant gardening and a focus on rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation to a Rain Dance, while Alexandria infuses her passion for water conservation and a belief in the beauty of native and drought-resistant plants into every garden design and plant profile. Together, they’ve explored water-wise gardening techniques and plant selections from around the world (from Mediterranean gardens to desert landscapes) to curate a collection of resources and inspiration that embodies the essence of gardening with rain.
