Abstract/Contents: | Discusses legislation in Salt Lake City, Utah that "would require vegetation on only one-third of a front lawn (possibly drought resistant vegetation, and the rest covered with mulch or gravel.)" States that "Mayor Rocky Anderson's front yard is landscaped with ornamental grasses and purple sage shrubs and covered by red bark. But it is illegal." Mentions lower-water landscapes called veriscapes used in "some [Southwestern United States] cities." |
