As the proverb goes, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Well, when it comes to designing your own landscape, the first step can be a little difficult. Fear not — Gardening Volunteers of South Texas to the rescue.
The water-wise gardening group is hosting the first WaterSaver Landscape Design School Saturday, Feb. 25, at Parkhills Baptist Church.
You'll learn basic design elements and examples from Brian Hough. His designs have been showcased on WaterSaver Landscape Tours and the Garden Conservancy tour in 2010. Hough will emphasize landscapes that use minimal water and provide year-round color. Local drip expert and enthusiast Tom Harris, Ph.D., will give a presentation on drip irrigation, and yours truly will describe SAWS' wonderful conservation programs.
Most importantly, you'll get to sketch out and create your own landscape design and pose questions to the experts. And not only will you walk away with the basic outline for your future low water-use landscape, but you'll also get goody bags loaded with precious resource materials and references.
Don't delay! Advanced registration is required. Deadline is Monday, Feb. 20. Call 210-251-8101 to register.
