Does the institution use xeriscape landscaping techniques, including the selection of drought tolerant plants?:
A brief description of the program or practice:
Native plants are prioritized partly because of their drought resistance within our climate zone. Virtually all trees planted on campus meet Hardiness Zone 7, which is appropriate for the Reynolda Campus. We are very sensitive to putting plants where they are best suited. With much of campus being non-irrigated we're careful to consider micro climates and water needs when choosing plants.
