Texas
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 our area. It'll show you how to make the most
of your yard. With over 200 plants to select from,
you'll be able to find the ones that meet the specific
growing conditions of your property. |

As a
Smartscape gardener, you'll be promoting an ecologically
friendly way to manage your landscape, conserve water,
and even protect our water supplies. Here are some of
the benefits... |
| |
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 our water
consumption during warm months is for outdoor use. Using
less water will lower your water bill. |
| |
Smartscape features plants
with built in defense mechanisms that significantly
reduce the need for fertilizers and pesticides. By
decreasing our dependence on lawn care products, we can
keep harmful chemicals from washing into our waterways
during a downpour. That means a cleaner environment for
all of us 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. |
| You can
