Great idea to have a learning centre. Will suggest to our hort society. Our hort society did a garden but in a private home so was only available for a limited time. We also have to consider altitude as we are 3000 ft and classed as alpine sem-desert. We need to make xeriscaped landscape more appreciated and get rid of mass lawns.

Thank you for sharing, I'd like to xeriscape as well.

Great concept, but it would be even better with an extended focus on biodiversity as well as climate. The biodiversity you already get by using native plants, but the climate aspect would require that you don't recommend the usage of peat moss and other amendments with a massive climate impact.
But very informative and inspirational video! Good job.

Sounds like we need to make a road trip to corpus!

I live in 30141. I never knew what I was doing at my home had a name. The first summer I lived here my water bill is exceeded $400 per month since we have an irrigation throughout the front yard approximately 3/4 of an acre. Since then I've taken the approach if the plant cannot live without supplemental water in my area then it does not have the right to live in my yard. What I've noticed is that the native species too the southeast and the United States seem to excel in my yard. Even the grass, I have never sewn any seed. I only apply a broad spectrum weed preventer twice a year and the remaining grass that grows is cut at 4 inches. I have no idea what grass is growing in my yard but it definitely is no longer Bermuda. I believe it's a blend of cool and warm season grasses that are probably considered weeds but since it grows so dense it looks like sod. I also minimized the amount of grass by adding a large shrub bed that sways through the middle of the lawn.

How do I kill and get rid of grass and weeds where I want to add a succulent garden? Thanks!

Do you have a contact in
in San Antonio for landscaping?

See I have heard of zero scaping and all those people seem to do is cut down every living thing and say that it saves on water which I know is not true I guess I'll tell them that they were told the wrong thing and to xeriscaped

Nice ideas but I really would like to see some video and pictures of what the xeriscape landscaping looks like. Looking at the woman talking doesn't help me with that. Nice to share ideas but there's nothing like seeing examples of xeriscape that would help me. Also super up close pictures of plants and leaves don't help me know what Nice xeriscape landscaping could look like. Overall the videography is lame.
