Xeriscaping Workshop August 7 2010 at Vernon Arts Centre - #Vernon BC

See you online,

Join Xeriscape specialist Gwen Steele for an informative presentation on xeriscaping on Saturday August 7 from a0 am to noon. There really is more to this form of gardening than covering your entire yard with gravel – Think of it as gardening WITH nature.

Some of the benefits of this type implementing this type of garden in your Okanagan yard include:

·         Enhancing the real estate value of your home with an attractive and water conserving landscape.

·         Reducing water use- depending on the design and the plants used, water use can be reduced by over 50%.

·         Saving time– less watering, trimming, weeding and mowing.

·         Saving money– less water, chemicals, fertilizer, and replacement of dead plants.

·         Elimination of pesticide/herbicide use– plants growing in their ideal conditions thrive and  

·         Protecting your family’s health and that of the environment – including keeping poisonous chemicals out of our water.

Limited Tickets for this event are only $5.00  and available at Briteland (32008 – 28th St. Vernon, BC) and the RDNO office – 9848 Aberdeen Road Coldstream, BC) Following the morning session a free Xerindipity garden tour follows between 1 and 2 pm.
