Learn how to use water-wise landscaping Thursday

September

A workshop to help people learn how to landscape their yards to conserve water and save money will be held Thursday in Chestnut Ridge.

An optional raingarden tour will be held at 5:45 p.m. to show how to manage stormwater runoff. The main program will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and include information on low water and water-retaining landscaping and water-efficient irrigation techniques.

The event, hosted by the Threefold Educational Center and Hungry Hollow Cooperative, will be led by Bergen Save the Watershed Action Network and other environmental organizations. It was organized at the invitation of Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee, D-Suffern.

I’ve read that half the water use for a standard suburban home is to water plants (and lawn) outside, so if we all switched to low water landscaping, it would make a HUGE difference.
