Saving water is top of mind for Lindsey and many of her clients right now. 
That means rainwater collection — and you’d be surprised just how much water you can save, even during a drought. 
We’re talking thousands of gallons. 
Part of the problem, says Lindsey, is education: People just don’t know how much their yards can thrive, given a little know-how and some native, climate-appropriate plants. 
It’s about creating a landscape that’s in harmony with nature rather than fighting against it. 
If that’s the kind of yard you’d like to cultivate, tune in for the conversation.
