Creating a drought resilient yard (Woodbury)

We all want beautiful yards, but summer irrigation can place a major strain on municipal water supplies and cost homeowners a lot of money.
During this presentation, Angie Hong will share strategies for building drought resiliency in your lawn and gardens. We’ll talk about simple changes, such as modifying your mowing and irrigation, as well as bolder conversions that replace traditional turf grass with low-mow and drought resistant fescues. Angie will also provide recommendations for deep-rooted native plants to include in your garden areas.
Whether your yard is large or small, the little changes you make can help to preserve Woodbury’s groundwater resources for future generations.
