LADWP sponsoring drought-friendly landscaping workshops
Water use restrictions and occasional brushfires are constant reminders that the Southland is enduring another year of drought. Here’s a partial remedy: drought-tolerant landscaping workshops begin this Saturday, Nov. 7.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power sponsors the free workshops on California-friendly gardening. The utility says that 40 percent of L.A.’s water goes toward landscaping, and because of the drought it’s already imposed restrictions on when and for how long people may water their lawns and gardens.
So these workshops emphasize affordable, low-maintenance and water-sipping options for sustainable lawns and other plants. Those options may include landscaping without turf – and the Department of Water and Power offers rebates for that.
