Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening

Gilbert Water 101

Thursday, October 10th | 6:30- 8PM

Have you been hearing a lot about drought and water shortage? Come learn how Gilbert has prepared for these conditions and is still able to grow because of our diverse and resilient water portfolio.

The ABCs of Landscape Watering

Thursday, October 17th | 6:30- 9PM

Let’s face it—that little plastic box on the side of your house that controls the watering of your yard can be intimidating! However, it is important to know how to work your irrigation controller because outdoor watering is often the largest water use for a household. This class will teach you how to properly water the plants and grass in your yard. You will also get hands-on experience by learning how to program an actual controller in class.  Take what you learn and apply it to your yard for a healthier-looking and more water-efficient landscape.

Getting to Know Your Smart Controller

Thursday, October 24th | 6:30- 9PM

If you leave town in the summer or hate going out each month to adjust your irrigation controller, you may want to look at purchasing a smart controller. Once properly programmed, smart controllers take into account local daily weather conditions and adjust watering automatically. Some controllers can be challenging to program for optimum savings. Learn how to properly program your smart controller to keep your plants happy and your water bill low.
