THE MASTER GARDENERS OF BERGEN COUNTY ”Xeriscape Landscaping” Presented by Sonja Clark
At the next meeting of the Bergen County Master Gardeners, Sonja Clark, Director, Communtiy Relations, United Water will present a very special program on “Xeriscape Landscaping”.
Come and learn about United Water’s conservation program designed to help conserve the Earth’s most precious natural resource: Water. From the Greek word “xeros,” which means “dry,” Xeriscape Gardens require less water than traditional gardens.

Learn how to create a beautiful “xeriscape” or “conservation” garden, by following techniques that can reduce your landscape water use by up to 60%, and, significantly reduce your garden maintenance.　 Xeriscapes also focus on native plants that are naturally drought tolerant.
