desire of many Southern Californians is a home with a lush, green,
manicured lawn, flowering shrubs and groundcover. </SPAN></P>
<P class=style13>That was possible when water was plentiful and
inexpensive. </P><SPAN class=style13>But those days may be over. Planned
reductions in imported water from the Bay-Delta and Colorado River and the
region's continuing drought are requiring a change in how we view and
create our landscapes. </SPAN>
<P class=style13>The good news: Southern California's climate does afford
an opportunity to create beautiful and functional landscaping that also
conserves water.<BR></P></DIV></TD></TR>
