FCAT sponsors water-wise gardening webinar

FALLBROOK – Solana Center for Environmental Innovation, in partnership with Fallbrook Climate Action Team, will present a webinar about water-wise gardening, Tuesday, April 26 at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom. It's funded by San Diego County Recycling.

Topics covered will include climate appropriate planting, using mulch and composting to conserve water, managing irrigation efficiently, soil types and gardening styles.

Solana Center was founded in 1983 when they pioneered the first comprehensive curbside recycling program in San Diego County and one of the first community-based recycling programs in the State of California. Recently, in the last three years combined, Solana Center composting programs have enabled the diversion of an estimated six million pounds of organic waste from the landfill, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 11,500 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent, and returning valuable nutrients back to the soil without the use of harmful chemical fertilizers.

Its mission is to mobilize the San Diego community through innovative outreach and consulting services for businesses and jurisdictions in order to address the region's most pressing environmental issues and enact impactful change.

FCAT presents monthly (except December) presentations about climate change and mitigation, usually on the last Tuesday of the month on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, sign up for the group's eblast on the website fallbrookclimateactionteam.org.
