Drought-Resistant Plant Class
Whether you live in a dry climate or simply want to save on your water bill, using drought - tolerant plants in your landscape is one of the best ways to conserve water. With climate change causing more severe dry spells and city imposed water restrictions, drought resistant landscaping is an attractive and viable option.
This class will expose you to plants that will work in your yard and provide an alternative to thirsty green lawns. As our plant sale is the following weekend, you will have the opportunity to see plants that might be a great choice for you.
