This time of year we spend a lot of time trying to educate homeowners about the correct methods of watering. It has always been very important and is even more so now since we are lacking water reserves. It is also very important to water correctly in order to have happy healthy plants that can survive water restrictions and a possible drought.

At The Greenery we have created a series of informational handouts designed to help the average homeowner understand and adjust their watering habits. The first is an introduction to the program. For a printable .pdf click here: what-is-waterwise

The second handout in the series is about checking and adjusting your existing irrigation system to make it more efficient and water wise. For a printable .pdf click here: waterwise-step-1

The third handout discusses proper water habits for trees and shrubs. For a printable .pdf click here: waterwise-2-tree-shrub

Lastly, the fourth handout is about lawn watering. Lawns require the most water of all landscaping and are also the biggest area that homeowners waste water. I am not saying to remove all of your lawn, but keep these tips in mind. For a printable .pdf click here: waterwise-3-lawn-care1

I hope this helps. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them here or give the nursery a call.
