The Journal | Thursday, April 17, 2025
As gardeners in Charles Town and Ranson embrace the vibrant spring of 2025, xeriscaping emerges as a sustainable landscaping solution, minimizing water use while promoting local biodiversity. Highlighted by The Journal, this eco-friendly practice encourages the use of native, drought-tolerant plants that thrive in Zone 6, perfect for the region’s climate. With workshops offered by the West Virginia University Extension Service and local nurseries like Sunshine Farm & Gardens providing resources, residents can transform their yards into beautiful, low-maintenance gardens that require significantly less water, all while supporting the local ecosystem and enjoying their outdoor spaces.
