The Xeriscape Council of New Mexico was formed in 1986/87 after green-industry professionals interested in the use of native plants in conservation attended a Xeriscape Conference in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The Xeriscape Council of New Mexico, Inc.is a non-profit tax-exempt corporation. Our primary goal is to offer education and training about water conservation, primarily through efficient irrigation of xeriscaping utilizing native and other low-water plants.
