at 2,500 acres of mostly private timberland near Sprague River.
The cause remained under investigation.
About 20 miles northwest of Sisters, about 45 homes
along the Metolius River remained under an evacuation advi-
sory due to the Bridge 99 fire, and residents of more than 800
others around Lake Billy Chinook were told to be ready to
leave on short notice.
The fire was 20 percent contained after burning through
about eight square miles of timber, brush and grass.
In the rugged rangelands east of Burns, the Buzzard Com-
plex fires were 75 percent contained after burning across 576
square miles. Some scattered ranches were still under a low-
level evacuation advisory. Some cattle have been found dead in
the fire area.
brave new gardening
for brave new climates
By KATHERINE ROTH,
Associated Press
Ripping out the front lawn and its border-
ing rhododendrons and replacing them with a
landscape of native grasses, groundcovers, suc-
culents and rocks once seemed an unfathomable
act of defiance. No longer.
As many parts of the United States grapple
with drought and rising water bills, “The thought
of an English garden in the Central Valley of
California is sheer madness. It wasn’t meant to
be, and it’s sucking up precious groundwater
we need for agriculture,” said Ann Savageau, a
design professor at the University of California
at Davis, who recently traded in her lush green
lawns for a desert look.
Instead of scoffing, neighbors stopped to
ask her landscaper for his business card. Other
California towns, including Sacramento and
Menlo Park, have begun offering rebates to ho-
meowners who remove their lawns.
Gardeners nationwide are feeling the ef-
fects of climate change. In the East, and other
areas where heavy downpours have become
more intense, a sustainable garden might in-
clude native grasses and other plants that do
well in heavy rain and the dry weather that can
follow.
“Awareness is changing in a way that is
here to stay,” said Brian Sullivan, a vice presi-
dent for landscapes at The New York Botani-
cal Garden. “Yard by yard, region by region,
the overall environmental impact of this trend,
which I think is very positive, is substantial.”
Mowing and watering a traditional lawn
requires a lot of time, money, water and fertiliz-
ers. Increasingly, many home gardeners want to
focus instead on edible gardens, and rethink the
rest of their landscaping in a more environmen-
tally sustainable and low-maintenance way.
It’s sometimes hard to know where to be-
gin, however, and few people have the funds
or time to tackle a total garden makeover all at
once.
Some strategies:
TAKE IT IN STEPS
“Transitions should be made at your own
pace and you do these things in small steps,”
Sullivan said. “Lawn has utility. We play on it,
sing on it and look at it. You can still enjoy your
lawn, but cut it down by a third or half, or go
with groundcovers you can walk on. They’re
not the same, but it’s about shifting expecta-
tions.”
Susan Middlefield, horticulture editor for
the Vermont-based National Gardening Associ-
ation, said “less lawn means you’re putting less
carbon into the atmosphere. Lawns are fertilizer
hogs, and a lot of fertilizer also contributes to
oxygen depletion in local waterways.”
Savageau retained a small circle of lush
lawn about 12 feet across for her grandson to
play on. It’s surrounded by agave and desert
grasses.
CONSIDER YOUR SITE
When taking your yard in a new direction,
experts say, the first step is to know your site.
Do you have a slope? Is it shady or sunny?
Plants on the top of an incline will be dri-
er and plants at the bottom will be wetter. But
when the water dries up, the plants at the bot-
tom need to be fine when it’s dry, too.
TALK WITH LOCAL EXPERTS
Many arboretums, botanical gardens, na-
tive plant societies and local extension services
offer brochures, online help, and classes on
suitable plants and landscapes for various cli-
mates and regions. Many also maintain native
plant gardens to inspire home gardeners, and
some communities offer incentives to hom-
eowners making the shift toward more sustain-
able yards.
Melanie Sifton, vice president of horti-
culture and facilities at the Brooklyn Botanic
Garden, in New York City, suggests that ho-
meowners start with Landscapeforlife.org, an
interdisciplinary effort toward sustainable gar-
dens led by the American Society of Landscape
Architects, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower
Center at the University of Texas in Austin, and
the United States Botanic Garden.
CONSIDER A RAIN GARDEN
Rain gardens are “a great idea for any part
of the country. ... You take out a small area of
lawn and make a depression into which you
direct the rainwater coming off your roof. In-
stead of rainwater running down the driveway
and overwhelming sewers, it goes into an area
planted with occasionally heavy downpours in
mind,” explained Middlefield.
In Vermont, she said, rain gardens often
include summersweet, inkberry, shrubby dog-
woods and purple coneflower.
“When there’s a big thunderstorm, you
know all that water will be going somewhere
useful,” she said.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s new rain
gardens, planted with varieties of blue star,
switch grass and black gum trees, have been
successful and provide stunning fall color, Sif-
ton said.
WHERE LAWNS ARE VIABLE, THINK
SUSTAINABLE
“In areas with sufficient water, I’m not
anti-lawn,” Sifton said. “Just be aware of water
use, use organic fertilizers and aerate the soil a
lot.”
Sustainable lawn varieties being used suc-
cessfully in New York City include tall fescues
mixed with Kentucky bluegrass, she said.
COMPOST
“Composting yard waste and putting out
a bucket for rainwater are huge in their envi-
ronmental impact, and are both very easy ways
to start gardening more sustainably,” Sifton
added.
