Water is a precious resource here in the Sonoran Desert. Wasting it is not only expensive, but is tough on the environment and our community. So when you have a Scottsdale golf home with a back yard, a front yard or a garden, how do you keep the water running efficiently? That’s exactly what the City of Scottsdale is seeking to help residents with in its new water efficiency workshop series.
The Scottsdale Water – Using it Wisely is an eight-part workshop series free to Scottsdale residents of all gardening and landscaping skill levels. Each series covers a different area of water conservation that can benefit homeowners, renters, property managers and Home Owner’s Associations. Here is a breakdown of the workshops and schedule:
