“If you want to know the value of water, try not having any.”


- Bobby Markowitz, ASLA, President/CEO Earthcraft Landscape Design, Soquel, CA

Do you know what to do if you’re denied the use of irrigation for the properties you’re designing landscapes for?

 

Do you have the knowledge and skills to triage an existing landscape when water is restricted or denied?

 

In the 21st century, we’ve been in drought 76% of the time. So you could say California is trending hotter and drier. In late 2021, before the first atmospheric river flowed through and dumped its liquid refreshment mostly on the northern portion of our parched state, communities were losing their access to irrigation.

 

With the prevalence of drought, increasing population, and impending statewide restrictions and water budgets, you absolutely need to add new knowledge and skills to your tool set. Lori Palmquist, Dave Phelps, and Sarah Sutton have created courses that will show you that it’s possible to design for little or no available water. Dry landscaping doesn’t have to mean gravel and cactus.

 

Taking these courses will help you future-proof your landscapes and your business. Dave, Sarah, and Lori will point you to the plants, land-shaping strategies, alternative water sources, and temporary irrigation setups that will yield beautiful, natural gardens that will make your heart sing.
