Sydney finds that Desal is just too expensive!!

Let's learn from Sydney's mistake, and not build a desal plant that is just too expensive!

Ocean Friendly Gardens Lawn Patrol this Sunday (the 22nd) in Encinitas!!

 Join us this Sunday the 22nd at 10am at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas for our next Lawn Patrol!!
We will visit our 3rd Street GAP installation, a parking strip that was converted from wasteful turf to a native garden and bioswale. We will take a quick walk up A street and check out some gardens that are mostly ocean friendly and some that are not so ocean friendly and talk about the difference.

Lawn Patrols are a great way to learn about what makes an Ocean Friendly Garden ocean friendly, the impacts that the choices we make in our gardens have on the health of our local environment, and what easy steps you can take to turn your garden into an OFG! We talk about soil health, plant choices, how to retain rainwater on-site, and how to use organic choices instead of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides!

Meet us at 10am in the turnaround lot where Encinitas Blvd ends at Moonlight Beach (at the end of 4th/BStreet).
