Water Conservation and Lush LAndscapes

June 15, 2011


Next week we will officially be in the Summer season of the year. Rainy weather will probably not occur in the Inland Empire until the fall season. The attractiveness of our landscapes depends on our being diligent in monitoring the water needs of our gardens and lawns.


Drought tolerant plants are being publicized as are drip irrigation systems. The proper plants and the proper watering systems will maintain pleasing landscapes. A lack of proper irrigation can lead to droopy plants an a neglected look to the property.


For some help on the subject of "Sustainable Landscaping" the university of California Cooperative Extension, San Bernardino County is offering a workshop this Saturday, June 18 from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. at the Sam J. Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center in Highland. This workshop is free and open to the public.


RSVP through university horticulturist Janet Hartin at 951-313-2023 or jshartin@ucdavis.edu
