Thinking About Updating Your Yard? Choose Beautiful, Drought-Resistant Plants!
GECA is leading the way by transforming community spaces into xeriscaped landscapes—and we’re encouraging residents to join the movement. This shift helps preserve our water supply, cuts down on mowing and raking, and still allows for beautiful, green spaces that enhance your home’s curb appeal.
Need Help Choosing Plants?
You’re not alone! GECA collaborated with the Town of Cochrane and two local horticulturalists to identify over 100 drought-tolerant plants, including:
- Shrubs
- Perennials
- Native grasses
- Ground covers
- Trees

Let’s work together to protect our environment, reduce water use, and create yards we can all be proud of.
