Part 1:
Interview someone that has a green lawn in front of their house or apartment.
Ask them how much it costs to maintain. It will be interesting to see if they know or not.
Ask them if they would be willing to replace the green lawn with a xeriscape of California Native plants or drought tolerant plants
Do they know what a xeriscaped garden is?
If you do not know, watch the PowerPoints in Section 6 now
Ask them if they know or care that we have a water crisis here in Los Angeles.
Find out their main arguments against a xeriscaped garden.
Part 2
Now write your essay.
Apply what you know about arguments now and identify at least three arguments they are using against xeriscaping.
Label these arguments and counter them.
Do not argue with the person you interviewed!
1000 words, include the word count please
Example, “I think dry gardens are really ugly and it will lower my home value”.
The argument used here is prejudiced stereotyping based on fautly information and statistics. In reality, xeriscaped gardens can be colorful, lush and full, cost less to maintain and will raise the house value.
