March is all about spring. We “spring” forward with daylight savings time March 10, and the first day of spring is March 20. March is also a great month to start thinking about preparing your landscape so it will blossom. Let SCV Water help you get started with our free March class offerings.

Not sure what plants to use in your landscape? We’ve taken out the guess work by identifying the top 30 plants that look beautiful and grow well in the SCV. Join us Thursday, March 7 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. to learn about the Top 30 Plants for the SCV. They’ll make a great addition to your landscape! Participants will leave with a full-color plant guide and (hopefully) a few new favorite plants.

Ready to reimagine your landscape? Start with a plan! Join us Saturday, March 9 from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. for our new class: Planning Your Landscape Project: Design to Construction. Participants will learn the components needed to develop a project scope, and create your own landscape design and budget.
