Brad Wier is a San Antonio Water Systems (SAWS) Conservation Planner. Years in South Texas landscaping and public horticulture gave him a lasting enthusiasm for plants that don’t die when sprinklers — and gardeners — break down.
Drought has been the new normal in San Antonio lately – so what lessons can a water utility offer folks just starting new landscape projects? As SAWS’ 3-2-1 plant-by-numbers approach to do-it-yourself WaterSaver gardening enters its twelfth year, a revised plant palette and fresh design perspectives continue to guide beginning gardeners towards water conservation as we all learn from recent weather extremes. Join Brad Wier, planner at SAWS Conservation, for a discussion of landscaping 200 sq. ft. at a time – how to do it, what to expect, and strategies for long-term success.
