Use Water Wisely


Use Water Wisely

Of the estimated 29 billion gallons of water used daily by households in the US, more than 8.5 billion, or 30 percent, is devoted to outdoor water use. In dry climates, a household’s outdoor water use can be as high as 60 percent! The majority of this is used for landscaping. Native plants are a water-wise solution. Once established, native plants selected for your climate and soil type require little water other than normal rainfall.
