Corpus Christi Water (CCW) will host a Xeriscape Symposium on February 3, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the American Bank Center. This year’s theme will be “30 Years of Xeriscape” and will focus on providing information to anyone interested in learning how to create beautiful, drought-resistant landscapes.
Mayor Paulette Guajardo will welcome participants along with Chief Operating Officer of CCW, Drew Molly, P.E. Presenters for the conference will include Nueces County Master Gardeners, an irrigation specialist, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service and a landscape designer. Bill Alexander, KRIS-TV Meteorologist, will be the master of ceremonies for the event.
As a result of drought conditions experienced in the 1990s, the City began to educate the public on the practice of Xeriscape gardening as a technique to save water while still achieving an attractive landscape. The Xeriscape conference began in 1994 and continues to promote the use of drought-resistant and heat-tolerant plants in home and commercial landscape design.
A light breakfast will be served.
