Learn irrigation basics at free workshops

Green Acres watering seminars cover drip conversions, technology upgrades and more

How much water do tomatoes really need? When is the best time to irrigate? (And why is watering so complicated?)

We all have water-related questions and it’s no wonder. Irrigation ranks right up there among the most confusing topics for gardeners. Yet proper watering is one of the major keys to gardening success. Conversion from traditional sprinklers to drip irrigation can save thousands of gallons annually (and a lot of cash, too). So can the installation of a smart irrigation controller or water-efficient rotary nozzles, two upgrades that can be easily done with no special tools.

Learn how to get the most out of your irrigation system during free workshops on Saturday, July 8, at all locations of Green Acres Nursery & Supply.

At 10 a.m. July 8, every Green Acres will host “Irrigation 101: Water Efficiency,” an information-packed seminar that simplifies this essential topic. Green Acres irrigation experts will walk participants through the steps of retrofitting sprinklers and upgrading technology. They’ll also answer questions about specific circumstances.

In addition, find out about available rebates that can help pay for your garden’s irrigation upgrades. Green Acres stocks many of these irrigation components, and staff will help participants pick out the right parts for their irrigation needs.

Green Acres nurseries are located in Sacramento, Auburn, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rocklin and Roseville.
