Xeriscaping Program April 5
“Appalachian Xeriscaping: Landscaping Ideas for Water Efficient Gardens” will be presented at 10:30 a.m.-Noon on Saturday, April 5 at the Weaverville Library.
The presentation features a slide lecture by Randy Burroughs, Landscape Architect & Naturalist, and a walk through the Main Street Nature Park.
The focus of this talk will be useful ways for homeowners to have healthy attractive gardens in a time of low rainfall. We’ll discuss plants, garden planning, soil ammendments, water catchments systems, and things you can do to make a lower maintenance, more entertaining garden.
In the park we’ll see how nature sorts out plants into communities and what you can learn about the place you live from reading these patterns.
The talk should last about an hour, with the Main Street Nature Park walk until Noon. This event is provided by the Weaverville Tree Board.
The Weaverville Library is located at 41 North Main Street. The talk will take place in the Program Room.
