Creating a Living City doesn’t stop in your local park or at the edge of your boulevard. Your yard and garden have an important role to play in conserving water and protecting pollinators.
Whether you want to take a big step, like replacing your full-sun, turf grass lawn with a more water-wise alternative, or a smaller step, such as planting a few bee-friendly shrubs and perennials, our Living Cities Yards will assist you in creating a resilient, environmentally-responsible, beautiful outdoor landscape.
