Lecture, Walking Tour Spotlight Low-Water-Use Landscaping
10/3/2007
Residents can learn how
to convert their yards from grass to low-water-use landscaping, or Xeriscape, in
a two hour session at City Hall on Saturday, Oct. 13. Landscape Architect Judy
Mielke will discuss the seven principles of Xeriscape, which – if applied
properly – can create landscapes that are water efficient yet creative and
colorful. Attendees also will go on a walking tour of Peoria’s award-winning
Desert Fusion Garden to see those principles at work. The two-our session will
begin at 10 a.m. in the first-floor Pine Room at City Hall, 8401 W. Monroe St.
