Water Conservation Reminders as We Head into Spring
Texas Lantana native plant
Even as we hope for "April showers to bring May Flowers" - our area lakes need an extra downpour, too, in order to raise the levels which remain low for this time of year. When deciding what to add to your landscape this spring, remember to use Texas native plants that are drought tolerant and need less watering. Make sure to sign-up for the next Sustainable Landscape seminar on April 13 to learn which plants work best in our climate. The cost is $5 and you can email your registration to asmith@cityofallen.org.
