Course Description

Are you interested in supporting the local pollinators and wildlife by creating a planting bed in your landscape? Looking to add some color and texture to your yard? Consider a spigot-to-drip setup that can operate from a homes’ water spigot. Several companies have drip kits designed just for this, they are easy to set up and work well to deliver consistent water to the planting bed and make your landscape shine with color and support our local wildlife. Whether using a kit or building a custom system, drip irrigation is a great way to create a space in the landscape to bring you peace, solitude and explore the “life after lawn” benefits.
