SUBMITTED NEWS RELEASE

With the weather warming, now is the time to start planning your water-efficient landscape projects. Truckee Meadows Water Authority offers the unique opportunity to tour residential landscapes on Saturday, June 25. Visit three homes that won last year’s Landscape Awards, hear how residents transformed their yards and learn proper tree care techniques at each stop. The free half-day tour will begin at the new Hug High Garden at 8:30 a.m. RSVP by emailing [email protected] or calling (775) 834-8005.

Attending the Landscape Awards Tour is also a good way to start your Water-Efficient Landscape Awards proposal. This year the awards will recognize customers who plan to install or retrofit their landscapes (or a portion of them) with water-efficient tools and techniques. Entries are due by Friday, Aug. 5. Attend one of two upcoming workshops on the xeriscape principals in order to complete your proposal or to learn more about water-efficient landscaping. The 3-hour workshop is being held Saturday, July 9 at 9 a.m. and Saturday, July 16 at 1 p.m. at the River School. Please RSVP by contacting TMWA.
