This boulevard garden has been recognized in the GreenUP Water Wise Landscaping Recognition Program. Planting a boulevard garden is a beautiful way to transform a space that can otherwise be an uninspiring piece of your property. Planting gardens instead of grass can mean less watering, more rain absorption, less flooding, more pollinators, and enhanced beauty in your front yard. (Photo courtesy of GreenUP)

Fall is a great time to make your garden ready for rain … or the lack of it
