How Can I Tame a Water-thirsty Yard? Getting Started on Xeriscape
For January’s program, Deedy Wright discusses what “xeriscape” means and its basic principles. The presentation will show an actual transition from a “contractor” landscape to a xeriscape and show landscape examples of what ideas such as a “No Grass Front Yard,” a “Repurposed Fountain” or a “Mixed Hedge” can look like. The last section will suggest some ecoregion-appropriate plants that could be used.
