I have planted mostly native and xeriscaped (sp) plants. I have soaker hoses flowing thru and around so I can give them a good soaking without loosing mist to the air. I have water barrels to catch runoff from rain and I use that to water with on the weekends since I'm not allowed to water with the hose then.

You also might want to check out this http://davesgarden.com/forums/f/xeriscaping/all/ forum. They talk quite a lot about how to have pretty stuff on not much water.
