Water Saving PlantsNot sure what plants to use in your landscape? SCV Water has taken the guess work out by identifying the water-saving plants that look beautiful and grow well in the SCV.

Join SCV Water virtually on Saturday, Oct. 17, from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. to learn about Water Saving Plants for SCV Landscapes. They’ll make a great addition to your landscape.

What to Expect
SCV Water will host one virtual class per month on a Saturday starting at 9:00 a.m. Additionally, our instructors will still provide the same great content but in more condensed format. Classes will focus on the topic for 45 minutes to one hour, followed by a question and answer session at the end.

All presentations are recorded and available for viewing on our website one week after the live class. Participants will also be able to download the presentation.
