waterSmart has developed a workshop on landscape design and maintenance for homeowners that is available through water providers, UGA Cooperative Extension offices, nature centers, public gardens, natural science museums, aquariums, Keep Georgia Beautiful affiliates, and other providers of environmental education in the pilot communities.
