Zone 6 members met at the First Christian Church for the August meeting. Derek deBoer presented a very informational program about designing and planning a landscape. He explained everybody has a story to be told by their house, landscape and clothing. The design and principal of the landscape are more important than the plants. Making a plan on paper saves time and money. As we make our diagram, we should know the function and purpose of each plant. Derek suggested repetition or group planting rather than one large plant. He illustrated the different designs; rectangular, diagonal, and symmetrical. Native plants and grasses will tolerate the heat and drought, thereby conserving water. After Derek’s talk, a question and answer time was enjoyed by all. There was no business discussed during the meeting. Thank you to hostesses Janice Lauderdale and Shirley Knightley (with help from John who carved a watermelon basket and much more).
