Drought tolerant plants, Xeriscaping and other landscaping links 


With the extended drought we are all currently experiencing, the WTC MUD1 is attempting to take a leadership role in the District of maintaining a beautiful landscape while also conserving water.  We have researched and are providing the below links to assist the District's residents with choosing water-wise or drought tolerant plants to conserve water and other landscaping tips and ideas.
  

Please check back often as we will update this page with more information as we continue our research. 

If you have some helpful information or links that you've used, please email them to use and we will attempt to add them to our page.  Please send your submissions to   This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
