Does Native Gardening Really use Less Water?

Garden Lecture Series

Water is a precious resource.  Using alternative designs specifically for low water gardens can save you time, water and money.  Low water gardens require less maintenance and still give you that curb appeal you desire. We talk about plants that are naturally adapted to dry climates and mountainous environments.

This class will discuss plant selection and how to decide which ones will work in your area. The focus on ornamental plants including perennials, vines, shrubs, and trees and choosing the best plants in the nursery.

Low water use plant selection and care (also called Xeriscape) is the focus of this class and you should leave in a good position to move forward with your gardening desires.
