Tips to Transform Your Yard

VISIT THE BURBANK WATERWISE GARDENING WEBSITE

The Burbank WaterWise Gardening website has everything you need to help you create your dream garden. Virtually tour a variety of landscapes, find plants you love, and get inspired by the beauty and endless possibilities of California native plant gardening.

PICK UP A FREE NOZZLE FROM BWP

If you're hand-watering trees and plants in your garden, you should use an adjustable garden hose nozzle. It makes watering tasks more convenient and efficient, plus you'll save water. You can get a free adjustable nozzle from the Conservation counter in the BWP lobby at 164 W. Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91502. The lobby is open Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm.

FOLLOW THE WATERING SCHEDULE

Burbank's outdoor watering schedule is designed for deep watering landscapes. This allows the roots to grow deep and allow plants to be more resilient in dry spells.

In April, Burbank will be switching back to 2 days/week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Outdoor watering is allowed before 9 am or after 6 pm, up to 15 minutes per irrigation station. Attended hand watering is allowed any day, before 9 am or after 6 pm.

Schools and Non-Profits Can Apply for Grants

BWP is bringing back its popular Demonstration Gardens Program to support non-profits and schools who want to change their landscapes to showcase the beauty and diversity of drought-tolerant native flowers, bushes, succulents, and trees. Dry creek bed landscapes can also qualify for funds, as could hardscape projects such as patios, sitting areas, rock gardens, flagstone walks, decks, and gazebos.
