Party For Plants In Cupertino Slated For Lovely Summer Evening

CUPERTINO, CA — Sometimes it takes a little oomph or help from one's friends to have a garden that doesn't demand more time than a prospective landscaper has to give.

The city of eco-friendly ideas — Cupertino — is hosting a Demonstration Garden Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Tour Thursday from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Civic Center Plaza off Torre Avenue near the library. Dignitaries are expected.

From there, all you wannabe gardeners may learn how to create beautiful landscaped areas that may help homeowners and renters conserve water thus lowering utility bills with drought-tolerant plants that also attract pollinators.

Detailed information on each plant in the DemonstrationGarden may be found by visiting cupertino.org/demogarden where one may learn about how to care for them, discover how tall they may grow and see pictures of them.
