This lead certainly drew me in:
Spice up your garden with unusual, low-maintenance plants from the San Francisco Succulent and Cactus Society’s annual show and sale next weekend in Golden Gate Park.
We’ve spent so much time weeding since we moved in, a low-maintenance yard sounds like a dream. I’ve actually been thinking about xeriscaping for a while. Low maintenance + low water bills = good. I don’t know that I really want to tear out the existing landscaping, though. Maybe as we make small changes over time we’ll consider more draught-friendly alternatives. In any event, it wouldn’t hurt to learn more about it.
See “Darlings of the dry garden” for more info about the San Francisco Succulent and Cactus Society’s annual show this weekend.
