Gardening for Drought

Create a drought-tough landscape!

Join our free class to learn how!

North Texas summers can be a very harsh time to keep plants from drying out. Luckily, many of our native plants are drought-tolerant and accustomed to thriving with little water. Even non-drought tolerant plants can be helped by following smart watering strategies. Whether you want a yard full of plants or a lawn, choosing tough plants and knowing how to care for your landscape in a drought can help keep it lush, even in hard times.

Learn about:

• The importance of water efficiency in a drought
• Common gardening mistakes that lead to water loss
• The basic principles of landscape design
• The best drought-tolerant native plants for your garden
• How to choose native turf for your lawn
• How to keep your garden healthy in times of drought

The class will be about 45 minutes long and taught by an expert for the Native Plant Society of Texas.

This event is brought to you by the City of Colleyville and Tarrant Regional Water District.
