Help your landscape get back in the saddle and learn to garden like a Texan at Spring Bloom, Saturday, March 9.
Need help creating a landscape that can weather our extended droughts, deep freezes and extreme heat that had us all wilting last summer? Get your boots on and giddyap to Spring Bloom to learn how to wrangle your water use and make your landscape tougher than a nine-banded armadillo!
A wide range of community organizations with gardening and water experts will be there to share practical tips on landscape design, plant selection, mulching and watering. If you haven’t explored the new WaterSaver Community at San Antonio Botanical Garden yet, their staff will share ideas from the exhibit which features five stunning landscapes with no grass or irrigation.
Ride out early as the first 1,000 adult guests will get a free WaterSaver plant to take home. Then mosey on over to the plant sales and rustle yourself up some native plants, drought-hardy ornamentals and herbs to add some yee-haw to your landscape.
Round up your family and friends to hear our expert speakers.
- 9:30 a.m. Landscape: Redesign for Resiliency, John Hamilton, San Antonio Botanical Garden
- 10:30 a.m. Drought Watering Rule Updates You Should Know, Karen Guz, San Antonio Water System
- 11:30 a.m. Proper Tree Watering, David Vaughan, San Antonio Arborist Association
And our new ConnectH2O electronic water meters are popping up faster than prairie dogs all over town. If you’re curious about how they work and can save you money, catch up with us at Spring Bloom.
Our staff can also teach you how to wrangle your water use with our conservation programs — no need for a San Antonio landscape thirstier than a stampede of steers!
See ya Saturday, pardner!
