New, more efficient and smart irrigation technology can monitor weather and time of year to provide the right amount of water.
Slow, sink, and spread the rain that falls on your property into the soil, including from your roof by creating a rain garden.
Use California native plants and other low water-use plants to reduce irrigation needs and provide needed habitat for birds and insects critical to our food production.

'The Pathway to Sustainability' garden embodies our commitment to conservation and resilience, showcasing the transformative power of California native and Mediterranean plants that flourish with minimal irrigation,” said Master Gardener Linda King. “Through this demonstration, we hope to inspire fellow gardeners to embrace smart watering practices and adopt water-wise plant choices, ensuring a greener and drought-resilient future for Sonoma County.”
