Everyone knows that hot, dry weather can be a killer in the garden. Conserving water isn’t just for desert gardens or times of drought, though – it’s something you can do in any part of the country at any time of the year.
Viewer Tip: The National Wildlife Federation offers these tips to conserve water in your garden:
- Try replacing water-loving lawn with drought-tolerant native plants. Not only will you water less, native plants will also attract birds and butterflies.
- Collect rainwater for use in the garden in a rain barrel.
- If you have to water your garden, use drip irrigation that minimizes evaporation.
Water is a precious resource and we can all do our part to conserve it!
Season: Summer
