Drought Tolerant Plants
The
Water Saving Garden Friendly program was founded in 2011 to provide local communities with conservation-based educational opportunities, as well as information and access to climate-appropriate plants. Through partnerships with sponsors like Home Depot, Scotts Miracle Grow and others, the WSGF program hosts events, workshops, and other educational and "do-it-yourself" opportunities for local residents to learn about and enjoy sustainable landscaping. The Garden Friendly program is a public-private partnership that welcomes the participation of all members of the public as well as interested landscape retailers.
