Area cities will host SmartScape plant sales at participating locations throughout the spring season. As a partner City, Carrollton will host a SmartScape Plant Sale Event Saturday, May 2 at The Home Depot (2011 Keller Springs Road, Carrollton, 75006) from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. Bring the whole family to enjoy kids’ activities, talk to experts about gardening tips and ideas, and pick up a few native plants to keep your yard thriving all summer long.

During severe water restrictions, you can still have a thriving lawn or garden during a hot Texas summer. By using native plants, water is conserved and the amount of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers are reduced. This saves you money and helps keep chemicals out of our streams, rivers, and lakes. To help reduce the amount of water and money spent on your landscape, consider converting to a Texas SmartScape®. Texas SmartScape® is an award winning gardening program educating homeowners about the ecological and economic benefits of using landscaping plants, trees, shrubs, and grasses native to this region and our local climate.
