Tuesday August 11, Wednesday August 12, Thursday August 13:
The Citrus Heights Water District is offering three FREE
WaterSmart Webinars
at Noon. If you spend any time out in your garden or landscape you cannot
afford to miss these unique educational opportunities.
Tuesday August 11th will be all about the
WaterSmart Foundation: Healthy Soil, Happy Landscape
https://www.facebook.com/events/1320083211716254. Learn from soils expert Steve Zien how you can create a healthy, living
soil to nourish your plants yield a bountiful, beautiful, pest- and
drought-resistant garden and landscape. Healthy soil is the foundation of every
WaterSmart landscape.
A healthy soil has physical, chemical, and biological
components that must all be in balance. We will worm our way through your soil
to determine its texture and explore the vast underground pore spaces and the
phenomenal diversity of life they contain that construct your soil's structure
and regulates the ability of your soil to drink and breathe.
You will understand the negative impact synthetic fertilizers have on plant health and the environment, and learn how organic fertilizers feed the living soil for nurturing your plants, while benefiting the ecosystem. Finally, Steve Zien will show you how to use a simple tool so you'll know when and how much to irrigate.

Wednesday August 12th WaterSmart Irrigation: The
Soil and Water Relationship will be covered https://www.facebook.com/events/3997801010294449.
You've learned about healthy soil. The next step for a WaterSmart landscape is
to unite efficient irrigation strategies with your soil type. Water moves and
acts differently depending on the soil. Learn how to use low-flow drip layouts
that will work best for YOUR soil. Soil and water can work together to meet
your plants' needs while managing your water use.
Thursday August 13th it is all about WaterSmart
Show Stoppers: Meet the Plants
https://www.facebook.com/events/1241777859495147.
Now that you have a great support team (soil and efficient irrigation) working
for your landscape, you can choose plants that support your yard's own
ecosystems! Plants that require less water and less maintenance to thrive;
plants that provide a rich habitat for pollinators and birds; and plants that
create beauty. Create a beautiful, beneficial, bountiful, pest-resistant and
drought-buster garden with great plants!
Personally, I am particularly excited about worming my way
through Tuesdays WaterSmart Foundation: Healthy Soil, Happy Landscape webinar
and hope you will join me. I know all three instructors personally and all are
highly qualified to lead these short 30-minute educational extravaganzas. This
easily could be the best way you spend 90 minutes all summer while sheltering
in place.
