We all want beautiful yards, but lawn and garden irrigation can place a major strain on municipal water supplies and cost homeowners a lot of money.

During this presentation, we’ll talk about climate trends and water availability and share strategies for building drought resiliency in your lawn and gardens. Topics will include:

• ·         Lawns: turf varieties, irrigation, and lawn alternatives

• ·         Rain barrels and cisterns

• ·         Strategies to help retain soil moisture in veggie gardens; and

• ·         Drought resistant native plants for gardens.

Whether your yard is large or small, the little changes you make can help to preserve Oakdale’s groundwater resources for future generations.
