How awesome is this experience? Students at Inez Elementary use traditional regional building techniques such as adobe and rammed earth berms to create a garden demonstrating xeriscape principles in harmony with their region. Their main focus is on water retention and erosion management. “Sustainability, appreciation for the beauty and depth of our arid environment, and respect for our traditional and pueblo community knowledge is what this program is all about.” - Rebecca Brinkerhoff We had a blast getting our hands dirty with these Budding Botanist grant winners and the kloranebotanicalfoundation kloraneusa team! #kidsgardening #schoolgarden #nativeplants #buddingbotanist #xeriscape
