SUMMARY:Designing for the Mojave Aesthetic: A Conversation on Native Landscaping Policy\, Practice\, and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Las Vegas is at an inflection point. As water scarcity intensifies and design standards evolve\, the case for native and regionally adaptive landscaping has never been stronger — yet barriers in procurement\, policy\, and perception continue to slow adoption.
