A Wichita gardening business, anticipating continued drought in 2025, was growing different plants this spring, favoring vegetables, fruit bushes, and herbs, while planting fewer perennial bedding plants and annual bedding plants.
A Wichita businessman who remodels pools and spas warned that if the city were to enter stage 3 water restrictions, which prohibit outdoor water use, except for food-producing gardens and certain businesses, that people would not be able to fill their pools, which would likely adversely affect business.
