Texas TAX FREE Weekend for Water-Wise Plants, Mulch, Compost, Irrigation Supplies

You might be aware that there are State Sponsored TAX FREE holidays for Back to School and Emergency Preparedness items BUT did you know there is also a TAX FREE weekend for Water Saving Products?!!

As plant lovers and gardeners ourselves we are THRILLED that many gardening related products will be discounted this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend. Saturday, Sunday and Monday May 29^th– 31^st.

What’s Tax Free?!

Residential lawn and garden customers can buy the following products without tax:

Drip Irrigation: helps save water by slowly placing water closer to the root zone, where plants can take advantage, reducing evaporation and excess runoff, lowering your summer water bill!

Mulch: reduces weed pressure, but also helps hold in water in addition to helping more water infiltrate the soil during rain events. Our favorites for the landscape are 2”-4” of cedar or hardwood mulches, spread around trees, shrubs and perennials. Or try straw or pine straw mulches, which work best for the vegetable garden.

Compost: can be made at home with food scraps or yard waste you normally throw away, but if you don’t have enough on hand, buy it tax-free Memorial Day weekend and take advantage of the many benefits compost has, like helping hold moisture in the soil during hot, dry summers.

Plants!!! Trees, Shrubs, Perennials and Grasses also qualify for the tax savings, but be sure to choose drought-tolerant native and adapted plants that are well adapted to the summer heat… especially when planting in late May or early June.

With temperatures already soaring and unpredictable summer rainfall patterns on the way, set yourself up for success by picking from  Rooted In’s “Top 100 Plants for North Texas” that are resilient and can be successfully established this late in the season.
