The first of two events geared toward assisting Irvine Ranch Water District customers in updating their gardens to use less water is scheduled for Saturday, March 7 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Lake Forest Home Depot store, 20021 Lake Forest Drive.

This is the third consecutive year IRWD and Home Depot have teamed up in this endeavor. The continuing drought makes this event especially important. A second event is set for March 21 at the Irvine store located at 6200 Irvine Boulevard.
