California drought‑aware landscaping

Entities: California · Sloat Garden Center · Bay Area

Overview

In late June, California officials began urging homeowners in Southern California to switch to drought‑tolerant landscaping and use pest‑control methods that minimize water use. By late July, the guidance expanded to include detailed climate information for the state’s Mediterranean zones and specific water‑saving techniques—such as low‑flow drip irrigation, smart controllers, early‑morning watering, deep but infrequent cycles, mulching, compost use, and planting native or climate‑adapted species. Together, the messages illustrate an ongoing push to curb residential water consumption amid persistent drought conditions.
