Landscaping and Gardening with Limited Water with Martin Byhower
Friday, October 18, 1:30 – 4:30 PM
Sun City Activities Center, Rooms 1 & 2
Maximum 25 Participants
In Person
NOTE: This class and the one on October 25 cover the same material. Register for this one or the other one, but not both.
Join Martin as he discusses landscaping techniques and plants that can survive and thrive despite sustained heat and drought, periodic freezes and ice storms, deer depredation, and HOA regulations and watering restrictions. Participants also will learn how to achieve beautiful, pollinator-friendly xeriscaping using groundcover alternatives to turf, drip irrigation with more mulch, less rock, and hardy native and adapted plants. The first hour will be a classroom discussion/demonstration with slides and hand-outs followed by a tour of the Native Plant Garden located on the side of the Activities Center and a visit to Martin’s backyard for further plant and landscaping options and discussion.
