Yes
None
A brief description of the program or practice:
One example is on 10th Ave next to XSB Parking. We call it the dry garden. It was a special project with the Hardy Plant Society. The technique involved tilling in a rock crush with the soil. We have used drought tolerant plants on the "hell strips" on 13th Ave, next to Parking Three. Drought tolerant, low maintenance plants are generally encouraged, including drought tolerant natives. We will be planting a small xeriscape garden between Montgomery Hall and Science Building II in the very near future.
