San Luis Obispo County's water resources are limited. Many people apply as much as twice the amount of water required by their landscapes. We all play a vital role in meeting our current and future water needs for residential, commercial and agricultural uses. With water conservation in mind, there is a need for water-wise, drought-tolerant landscaping.
The County, in coordination with water purveyors and cities comprising the Partners in Water Conservation (PIWC), is pleased to offer you a tool to help design a water wise garden.
By using the Water Wise Landscaping website you can design and install a water-wise garden. Learn to utilize irrigation methods and equipment that will help you to more easily and efficiently maintain your garden while doing your part to conserve our precious water resources.
Use the photos of actual gardens from all areas of San Luis Obispo County which are provided throughout the Water Wise Landscaping website to get planting ideas for your garden. Watch the instructional video to learn how the website can provide you with critical information by browsing the garden photos to obtain the common name, botanical name, and characteristics of each featured plant.
Please review the beautiful example landscapes shown on the Water Wise Landscaping website. Remember, the focal point of a beautiful garden doesn't have to be water-intensive turf!
