On a rainy Saturday, volunteers cheerfully removed weeds from the Robinson Street bridge.

















A permanent rut has been dug in by ever present water on 5th Ave.

Did it rain, oh no just a little watering!?!



















This lovely landscaping doesn't need much water.

Aah, the Jacaranda! I love Hillcrest in May & June when the Jacaranda bloom & we get purple snow.



















From one dip to another, this dip is always wet with over watering run off.

This what over watering does-it wrecks the grass and the sidewalk.



















If more planted like this parking area on the corner of Normal & Blaine, nothing would get wrecked.

This is an example of beautiful new landscaping on Brant Street.














Why is there always standing water at Evans Place & 5th Avenue? There are no lawns that are watered any where near there.

There are many different ways to achieve a drought tolerant landscape. This yard on 1st Avenue is unique to say the least.














This is a typical landscape seen in Hillcrest far too often.

On Eagle Street, there two houses next to each other with beautiful drought tolerant landscaping. No fines for them.














Look what needless watering does to our streets.

The apartment building at 7th & Pennsylvania has beautiful landscaping that is thriving but is watered sparingly.



















In contrast, this apartment building on 7th Avenue has the typical small strips of lawn which is constantly over watered.

If you must smoke, please don't use Hillcrest as an ashtray.

















Even in an urban environment, you can plant a little drought tolerant greenery like this outside of the Crest Cafe.
