Water-friendly landscaping workshop set for May 6

Nebraska

Landscaping methods that use less water are the topic of a workshop scheduled for May 6 at the University of Nebraska Panhandle Research and Extension Center.

"Water Friendly Landscaping" will run from 7 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., in the auditorium at the Panhandle Center. It is free and open to the public.

Extension Educator Karen DeBoer will speak about water-friendly landscape plants. "Buffalograss: The New Color of Green" is the title of a talk by Extension Educator Jim Schild. Also on the program will be an explanation of buffalograss rebate programs offered by the City of Gering and North Platte Natural Resources Districts. There will be time for discussion and questions.

According to Schild, the workshop is intended to give homeowners some ideas about how they can reduce the amount of water they use for their lawns and gardens - typically the largest single category of household water use.

Anybody with questions can call the Scotts Bluff County Extension Office at 632-1480.
