Desert landscaping and drip irrigation design

In 1984, I was asked by Dick Kelly to join a group of City of Palm Desert officials to visit the City of Scottsdale, Arizona, in an effort to learn more about desert landscaping practices. While there, we were given tours of municipal projects and were acquainted with water and maintenance saving practices already in place there.
Subsequently, we designed and installed the Coachella Valley's first municipal water efficient desert landscape in the median islands of Fred Waring Drive in Palm Desert. We've come a long way since then in our ever expanding knowledge and application of desert landscaping and drip irrigation design, but it all started with that trip.
