Waterwise Wednesday: Intro to SpokaneScape

Out with the cookie-cutter lawns, and in with water-wise gardens. In collaboration with the Spokane Public Library, Water Wise Spokane, a program of the city Water Department, is holding a series of free weekly workshops starting March 5 and running through April 30. In Spokane, water usage triples during the summer — and most of it goes to the upkeep of landscaping like non-native turf. These workshops cover how sustainable landscape principles can not only allow you to save on your utility bill but also support native ecosystems and water conservation. Specific workshops cover everything from water-efficient plants to drip irrigation and urban foraging.
