First rule of thumb for gardening in another dry year; don’t panic!
Along with the unseasonably beautiful weather, has come concern about the lack of rain. Fear not, we have been through this before. Having experienced multiple dry periods in our over 60 year history, we can guide you along the way to protect your landscape investments and enjoy gardening. Remain calm!
There are a lot of things we can do, shifting priorities, conserving here and there. Your landscape is an asset which would be difficult to replace. You need not give up on gardening! We do live in a dry climate and our gardening should reflect that.
We can help you through the dry spells as well as the wet ones. We have assembled some links to valuable resources that will inform and educate.
