WATER EFFICIENTLY!

Water-wise landscapes use only enough water to maintain plant health and
vigor and limit water waste. Water efficient practices also reduce
the pollution of our water resources, while saving you money!

• Group plants with similar water requirements.

• Install drip irrigation or use soaker hoses in landscape beds.

• For individual, newly planted trees apply water directly to roots and just beyond. Use hose-end on low flow, watering bags or 5-gallon buckets with small holes.

• Use fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides at proper rates and follow directions to ensure they do not pollute the water supply.
