Water conservation program scheduled

During these times of increased rates for our utilities, come and join us to learn more about watering and designing your landscape to utilize water more efficiently. The water conservation program will be held on April 8 in Yuma at the Orphanage from 10 a.m. to noon. If you cannot make that date, then come April 22 and join us at the WRAC from 10 a.m. to noon. Brunch is included at both program sessions.

Have you heard about the seven principles of water wise gardening? Come learn about some of the simple changes you could incorporate into your gardening skills to conserve water and become more efficient at plant care. The first part of the program will focus on best practices of watering and how we utilize water in the landscape. Hosts will go through specific varieties of alternative grass for turf. The second part of the program will cover the seven principles of water wise gardening and how to apply them along with specific plants to use in your landscape. Hosts will also present the Turf Replacement Bill that was approved in 2022.

Please RSVP to either date to reserve your seat and brunch. Seating is limited at both venues. Hosts look forward to sharing this important information to help you have a healthy landscape that does more than survive in a drought. Please call Linda Langelo at (970) 474-3479 in the Sedgwick County Extension Office to RSVP and if you have any other questions.
