WATERWISE LANDSCAPE DESIGNS

Water is simultaneously part of our daily routine and the stuff of mystery. We use it to cook our food, wash our dishes, and brush our teeth; yet few of us can stand on the beach and not lose themselves watching the breakers roll in.  In the face of climate change, water is becoming much more of an issue. We either have too much rainfall all at once or too little when we really need it, and it sometimes seems that this life-giving resource has turned against us. 

Get reacquainted with water! Learn simple methods to capture and reuse storm water and manage it on your property. We will discuss rain harvesting, permeable pavements, green roofs and rain gardens.
