How Can I Garden Without Water?
Lubbock has been experiencing record drought and now is facing
serious water restrictions. Does this mean we must replace our
lawns and landscape plants with rocks and cactus? Or can we
conserve water while still maintaining an attractive landscape? Our
very own, Dr. Dave Bender, will be making some suggestions on
water-wise gardening for the Keenagers March meeting.
