Smartscape offers North Texas residents a bounty of
information about landscaping for beauty, economic, and
environmental benefits. The CD features an interactive
"how to" guide that walks you through the Smartscape
planning and design concept. It encourages the planting
of native and adapted perennials, shrubs, and trees that
thrive in this area. It will show how to make the most
of your yard. With over 200 plants to select from,
you will be able to find the ones that meet the specific
growing conditions of your property. |

As a
Smartscape gardener, you will be promoting an ecologically
friendly way to manage your landscape, conserve water,
and even protect our water supplies. Some of
the benefits are: |
| |
Many native plants are
drought-tolerant, so they need less water and are easier
to maintain. Going native will reduce your summertime
plant casualty. |
| |
About half of the water
consumption during warm months is for outdoor use. Using
less water will lower your water bills. |
| |
Smartscape features plants
with built in defense mechanisms that significantly
reduce the need for fertilizers and pesticides. By
decreasing dependence on lawn care products, you can
keep harmful chemicals from washing into our waterways
during a downpour. That means a cleaner environment for
all
everyone to enjoy. |
| |
Smartscape settings can
provide a desirable sanctuary for songbirds,
butterflies, and other Texas wildlife. |
| |
Smartscape projects are fun
for the whole family. Get the kids involved. They are
natural born diggers who can really appreciate the hands
on opportunity of a gardening facelift. |
