PALMDALE – The Palmdale City Library will host a free class on xeriscaping, a landscaping method using desert-friendly and water wise plants.

The class will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Library, located at 700 E Palmdale Boulevard.

Presented by Brad Hayes of Greenbee Landscape, the class will feature great information for people wanting to transform their yards in a smart and attractive way, while simultaneously cutting their water bills.  Attendees will receive a free plant to take home with them, while supplies last.

“With our area in the middle of a severe drought and water rationing taking place, now’s your chance to make your yard look great and save water at the same time,” said Palmdale City Library Director Thomas Vose.

Greenbee Landscape’s mission is to provide a long-term solution for clients that will beautify and enhance their environment while saving them time, energy, water and fertilizer.

The Palmdale City Library is open seven days a week. Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 10 am to 8 pm; Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm; and Sunday from 1 to 5 pm.

For more information, call the Palmdale City Library at 661-267-5600 visit www.cityofpalmdale.org/library.
