Low water landscapes do not have to be about “tightening the belt.” Learn how to envision spaces that accomplish everything you could want from a garden including providing color, habitat, shade, and places for respite and celebration, that simply need less water and resources because they are composed of plants naturally adapted to our regional conditions. We will cover important foundational concepts as well as basics of design, plant selection, and garden project preparation.
