  We all want to reduce our water bill and minimize the time required to maintain a beautiful landscape.  This presentation will provide residents with clever ideas, helpful resources, and research-based information that will teach them how to create a handsome landscape, protect natural resources, and reduce maintenance chores using appropriate irrigation and plant choices. Topics will include turf removal, drip irrigation installation, and drought tolerant plant choices.

  Kris Moberg-Hendron is a Washington State Naturalist and a WSU Spokane County Master Gardener volunteer who encourages the use of native plants in home landscapes to support local invertebrate and bird populations, as well as to improve the local environment and reduce summer water use. There is an amazing variety of local native plants that create beautiful landscapes using a fraction of the resources required by traditional landscapes. Kris loves sharing that knowledge!
