PrAtlas/22802659

BOULDER, Colo. - PrAtlas -- As Coloradans face a dry summer and rising costs, nonprofit Resource Central invites the community to a free day of music, waterwise landscaping inspiration, and practical tips for conservation from local experts on Saturday, June 6, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 6400 Arapahoe Road in Boulder.

Part of Resource Central's free Rock & Reuse series, Saturday's event comes as Colorado is in a drought, and residents want practical ways to save water, make affordable home improvements, or reduce household waste. Attendees can connect with local conservation experts, explore practical ways to save water, donate excess building materials, and enjoy live music, artists, food trucks, and sustainable summer fun for all ages.

When the nonprofit's gates open at 9:00 a.m., visitors can explore pollinator-friendly individual waterwise plants from Garden In A Box, browse reclaimed garden tools, and discover reused landscaping materials to help create sustainable, low-water outdoor spaces.
