Garden Club – Watering

by Anna Eaves

The RenPark Garden Club met a few weeks ago to discuss tips, techniques, and the do’s and don’ts of watering.  Summer heat is tough to manage, especially when it comes to lawns and gardens.  But, with a few pointers from some group members and a vibrant discussion on everything from soaker hoses and rain barrels, to irrigation installation and watering schedules, everyone left with new knowledge.

For those who couldn’t make the meeting, here are a few links to some of the items discussed:

The RenPark Garden Club meets every third Thursday of the month in the clubhouse at 7:00 PM.  We’d love to see you at our next meeting on August 18th!
