Dear Mayor Farbridge and Members of Guelph City Council,

For your reference, the following information was shared:

•    The Healthy Landscape program ‘s goals are to educate residents on how to save water, money and time in their landscape. As Guelph relies solely on groundwater supplies, we need to protect it. By using less water outside, this will help to alleviate demand on peak demand days.
•    The Healthy landscape program can help residents with:
•    fun, easy ideas to help you incorporate the latest gardening trends
•    creating a low-maintenance beautiful garden
•    Learn what plants will work best with your garden's conditions
•    Learn about dazzling plant combinations that are easy to grow and maintain
•    watering your lawn and garden for best results
•    identifying pest problems and how to deal with them
•    conserving energy by planting a tree in the right location

Should you have any questions regarding the interview, please feel free to contact me through the information noted below.  

Thanks,
