Water-Wise Gardening Resource List

Here are some links we accumulated during the 2014 Water-Wise Gardening Expo on drought-tolerant plants for local gardens. (Keep in mind that people change their links all the time and don't know who out there has included them in lists like this one. Any link here may therefore require "deadheading" as time goes on. Let us know if you find one and we'll correct or remove it.)

Here's the list as a downloadable document (PDF).
