Water-wise planting: How one new development is doing it in West Jordan
A new residential community in West Jordan is showing how native plants, efficient irrigation and thoughtful landscape design can help conserve water without sacrificing beauty. A new residential community in West Jordan, Utah, has demonstrated how water-wise landscaping can significantly reduce water usage without compromising the quality of outdoor water. The Slow the Flow initiative involves volunteers planting native vegetation at a new area called Terraîne to create a landscape that supports bees, butterflies and other pollinators. The landscaping includes an underground drip irrigation system that delivers water directly to plant roots, reducing water loss from spray and evaporation. The native plant grant program also provides an opportunity for residents to incorporate native vegetation into their yards. Homeowners don't have to live in a new development to make changes, but to make thoughtful choices about where grass is needed and how water is used.
