| Impact Report | Xeriscape Garden With guidance and assistance from the agriculture agent, the Chaves County Master Gardeners planted a demonstration xeriscape garden at the Spring River Park and Zoo in Roswell in September 2009. The purpose of the garden is the show the public the attractiveness of certain native and low-water use plants and to encourage the use of those plants in home and business gardens. The agent worked with NMSU’s horticulture specialist to secure plants from the NRCS Plant Materials Center in Los Lunas and to design the garden. This summer, the agent continued to work with the Master Gardeners to maintain the garden and add to the plant varieties plants that are in the xeriscape garden. |
