The Waterwise Home

With drought conditions lingering and no rainclouds on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to make every drop count! Discover how water collection and water-wise gardening can support our local ecosystem, strengthen our community, and even save you money.

Join Katie and Christopher from Austin Watershed for an informative and inspiring workshop on water cisterns and native plants. You’ll learn how to choose, maintain, and make the most of a cistern, along with tips for selecting beautiful, resilient native plants that thrive in Central Texas.

Stick around for a guided tour of Howson Library’s Native and Adapted Plant Demonstration Garden, where you’ll see these concepts in action and gather ideas for your own yard.

Save water, grow smarter and cultivate a more sustainable Austin—right at home!
