tour, staged to promote water conservation, will quickly show you how
wrong you are, even if you visit only two stops.
Yes, you'll see agaves and a few palms. You'll stop at houses without a
thick, green St. Augustine lawn. But you'll also marvel at the lushness of
gardens filled with native and adapted plants that flower just as
earnestly as the annuals and perennials traditionally used in New England.
