With the Austin area exploding with new growth we feel it’s necessary to promote beautiful landscapes using plants that require less. Less water (almost zero irrigation once established), less fertilizer (that pollutes our cherished creeks, rivers, and lakes), and less maintenance ($$$$).

HCWG’s very own Horticulturalist and Nursery Manager, Alan Sodek will present his favorite xeric/water-wise/native/adapted plants that you can use in your commercial or residential landscape.

This is not a class on trendy or cool cacti for a southwestern look, though he may have a couple of cacti on his list. Alan’s classes take a broader approach to plants that can be used in traditional, formal, English, French, Mediterranean, and southwestern design.
These plants don’t need covering in winter, gallons upon gallons of water during our droughts and most of them will not break the budget adding them to your landscape.

Did you know that some of our display gardens here only receive irrigation once in the summer and once if we are experiencing a rainless winter?

Don’t miss this highly attended free class on Saturday, the 14th at 10 am!
