If we do not install permanent irrigation system, but we water the vegetation only from time to time in dry seasons (with the use of garden hose) for more than 1 year, do we meet the Option 2 requirements?

I doubt the reviewer will accept that. Who is to say you aren't using it more frequently and in fact you are irrigating. I know this argument could be made for many things in LEED, but your method is just too easy to cheat with. I suggest looking for more drought resistant landscaping options, that will not require irrigation. Even the grass can be selected to work fine without irrigation (of course not in Arizona or the desert).
