| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water conservation efforts at The Tournament Players Club (TPC) at Summerlin in Las Vegas, Nevada. States that "to reduce water consumption, a 7,500-square-foot area of sheep's fesuce adjacent to the 6th hole was chosen for naturalization...[the area was converted] into a low-water-use desert garden that serves as an educational resource for members, informing them about the variety of native plants that could be found on and around the course." Details the process of implementing the project, stating that "three hundred plants were transplanted into the area, representing 18 species of desert plants present in the surrounding ecosystem." States that "the resulting desert garden requires some occasional hand-watering and weeding, but it is considerably less expensive than the sheep's fescue, both in terms of man-hours and associated materials such as fertilizer, chemicals, and fuel." |
