Somehow - I'm not sure why - I ended up on the Greenscapes E-Newsletter list. To quote the little box at the bottom of the newsletter, "The 2007 Greenscapes program is a multi-partner outreach effort sponsored by the Massachusetts Bay Estuary Association, Massachusetts Bays Program, North and South Rivers Watershed Association, Eight Towns & the Bay Committee, Salem Sound Coastwatch, Ipswich River Watershed Association, and many other sponsors and supporters." You can find out all this - and more! - at the Greenscapes home page.
Now, every month or so I get a nifty little newsletter about how not to water your plants. Today's little water-miser guide featured links to two nifty tools: the town of Concord, MA's "Water Smart" program, which has landscape plans - with pictures! - of low-water gardens for full-sun and shady sites; and the National Wildlife Federation's American Beauties plans for wildlife-friendly gardens with native plants- which, yes, require less water than foreign beauties.
Did I mention that Boston got one-quarter the usual amount of rain in August?
