Cultivating Beautiful Landscapes with Water-Wise Gardening Practices
This is a list of Evergreen Thumb episodes related to Water Conservation. WSU Extension Master Gardener volunteers teach water-wise gardening practices to reduce the amount of water needed for healthy landscapes to ensure there is plenty of water in our lakes, streams, rivers, and aquifers.
Water is a limited resource and should be used appropriately. Clean water, especially water that is usable by humans for consumption, is a non-renewable resource. It is estimated that home landscapes can triple the average homeowner’s water consumption during the growing season. Using water-conserving design principles coupled with efficient irrigation delivery systems all play a role in water conservation.
