Summer’s in a week, and that means we need to watch our water use. Whether you’re planting flowers or vegetables, it’s likely you want a healthy-looking lawn or garden, and you may be trying to balance your concern about water use with your desire for a healthy landscape. Reduce non-point source pollution, unnecessary water use, and wasted fertilizer.

Community Energy Project is offering free workshops on how to be “water wise” this spring and summer in regards to outdoor watering. Learn how much water REALLY needs to go on your plants, and how to adjust your watering needs based on changes in the weather. Qualified participants receive a kit of free materials – including rain gauges, a soil probe, bucket, and more.
