Drought Survival Expo on Tap

The drought has many of us wondering how we can survive this fourth year of extreme dry weather. Come to the Irvine Ranch Water District’s Drought Survival Expo and learn how!

The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the District’s headquarters office – 15600 Sand Canyon Avenue, Irvine.

Learn how to install a beautiful, drought-tolerant garden and reduce your water use and ultimately, your water bill.

Workshop sessions include “Converting Sprinkler to Drip,” “Gardening with Natives,” and “How to Check for and Fix Leaks.”

Also included are vendor displays, landscape demonstrations, garden tours, family activities and prizes. Take a stroll through our colorful drought-tolerant demonstration garden for ideas – we have more than 80 different types of plants that are thriving.

So save the date – September 12 – and join us for a great, drought-busting event!
