15th Annual Water Conservation/Xeriscape Conference and Expo

The Xeriscape Council of New Mexico will hold their annual water conservation conference and expo from February 25-28, 2010. The 2010 Conference will focus on the Land Use, Water Use Connections, and will feature, among others, Post Carbon Fellow Sandra Postel. The first two days includes national and local speakers and requires a fee and registration. The second two days is an Expo held at the fair grounds that includes a variety of booths with xeriscape ideas and materials. It also includes a variety of free speakers on Xeriscape.

Last year I attended and found all four days mind altering. The speakers were from all over the globe and really opened my eyes about water use. The Expo was a wonderful way to see many of the products available particularly in the arid southwest. This council each year outdoes itself with speakers at a reasonable price.

Keep trying and if you get to frustrated contact scott@xeriscapenm.com or 505-468-1021 and he can send you information.
