Now that Governor Brown declared a mandatory 25% water conservation for California, many are wondering how that will also impact their gardens. Roger’s Gardens in Newport Beach is here to the rescue to help provide solutions to using less water while still having beautiful gardens.
Roger’s is a leader on removing lawns, improving irrigation system, replacing thirsty plants with Cal Friendly low water plants, they also offer a multi-faceted public water education program, and much more. Nearly ten years ago, Roger’s landscape was converted to low-water California Friendly plants and converted to weather sensitive SMART irrigation methods, low-volume spray heads, zero-runoff irrigation and much more.
You can become involved and also enter to win the 8th annual California Friendly Gardening Solutions Contest to show off your California Friendly garden. A California Friendly garden features smart and sustainable landscaping. It is designed in harmony with the surrounding environment using beautiful less-than-thirsty plants, state of the art irrigation control, and precision sprinkler heads.
The California Friendly Garden Contest celebrates and rewards these outstanding gardens with cash prizes and other awards. The first place winner will receive $1500. The contest runs through May 22. Details on how to enter are here.
