REDLANDS >> "Drought Tolerant Plants" will be the topic of discussion by Tressa Chadwick, owner Johnny’s Nursery in Redlands. The public is invited to attend Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society’s general meeting at the Church of the Nazarene 1307 E. Citrus Ave., Redlands Thursday, March 17 at 7 p.m. Drought tolerant plants have been used as an integral element in gardens and landscaping for hundreds of years. Some of the earliest examples could be found in fifth-and sixth-century Persian gardens, as well as Moorish gardens from the thirteenth century, where water played a primary role in their design and function. Since water was in short supply in these dry, hot climates, it was managed with great care. Plants were chosen that functioned best under low-water conditions while at the same time helped to create an oasis-like environment. Southern California homeowners can apply this ancient principal today by using drought tolerant trees, shrubs and groundcovers in their own gardens and landscapes. Mark your calendar, so you don’t forget to attend this important meeting where you will learn what you need to know about saving water by landscaping using drought tolerant plants. In addition to an informative evening, you will have an opportunity to win one of the many door prizes including actual plants gift certificates and a lot of fun stuff from the RHIS Plant Yard and Johnny's Nursery.
