Nothing Works Like Natives!
If you are new to Sun City, or if you are
a long time resident, you know that our
thin soil, dry climate, water rationing,
and hungry critters make it a struggle
to keep our yards looking good. Randy
Pensabene has succeeded and will show
us how to have an attractive, low main-
tenance landscape using native plants
to lower water bills and to provide habi-
tat. She’ll describe some interesting and
beautiful native plants and her favorite
native plant resources.
