Landscaping
Plants indigenous to our area fill the large, landscaped spaces around this building. These trees and shrubs are not only beautiful; they also serve many important purposes. Their root systems are more efficient at absorbing and filtering storm water runoff than grass is, and this helps to reduce the amount of pollutants carried off site. These plants also provide a habitat for animals. Best of all? Because they are native to our area, they require minimal water and maintenance to thrive. This reduces water consumption associated with irrigation by 87% annually, saving 3,513,159 gallons of drinkable water.
