It’s safe to say that this last winter was incredibly dry for Wyoming. Need a way to conserve water this summer? Try adding more native plants to your landscape! Native plants are more drought tolerant than traditional lawns. A 2009 EPA study found that on average, single-family homes in the U.S. use 30% of their household water outdoors, and the percentage is even higher in many arid cities. Adding a mix of native plants to your landscape not only saves water but also supports local pollinators, provides wildlife habitat, and requires less maintenance.
