In September 2011, scaffolding appeared around the large Coca-Cola/Angell’s Delicatessen sign painted on the east wall of the historic building home to Coppersmith's Pub in Downtown Fort Collins. Thanks to a grant received by the State Historical Fund in 2009, this "ghost sign" got a lot of conservation and a little restoration to ensure this faded advertisement from 1958 keeps Old Town looking historic.

Xeriscape is not one particular style or look - it's the creation of a healthy, attractive landscape that conserves water. Besides lowering your water bill by reducing your outdoor water use any where from 30-50%, another huge benefit is less mowing! Last September, City Council passed an amendment allowing two “water-wise turfgrasses” to grow up to 12 inches in height (all other grasses are limited to 6 inches).  Just think of what you could be doing instead of mowing and watering. More importantly, think of the money you’ll save by reducing your water bill. For more info on approved water-wise turfgrasses, xeriscape or conservation, visit fcgov.com/xeriscape.
