Xeriscaping: An Alternative Lawn Demonstration by the Southern Nevada Water Authority

Join the Southern Nevada Water Authority at this free “Xeriscaping: An Alternative Lawn Demonstration” event, designed to showcase innovative, eco-friendly landscaping solutions tailored for drought-prone regions. This interactive demonstration explores low-water alternatives to traditional lawns that conserve resources, support biodiversity, and reduce environmental impact.

Discover how ground covers like Kurapia, Dichondra, and Micro Clover can reduce water usage by 30%–70%, while requiring less maintenance—such as mowing or fertilizing—compared to high-water grass lawns. These alternatives also help enrich soil health, reduce carbon emissions, and minimize chemical runoff. If you’re seeking sustainable ways to transform your outdoor spaces into climate-resilient landscapes, this event will provide all the tools and insights you need.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Water-Saving Lawn Alternatives: Explore the benefits of low-water covers like Kurapia, Dichondra, and Micro Clover, and their suitability for desert climates.
  • Environmental Impacts: Understand how these options conserve water, reduce fertilizer and pesticide use, and support healthy ecosystems.
  • Adaptability & Maintenance: Learn about each alternative’s growth, care requirements, and how to integrate them into your specific landscape.
  • Sustainable Landscaping Practices: Discover practical steps to transition from traditional or artificial lawns to eco-friendly solutions.

Reserve your spot today and join us in promoting sustainable landscaping to conserve water, protect ecosystems, and build a more climate-resilient future!
