Summer Seasonal Tips

Install mulch

Apply mulch to manage water, control weeds and improve soil structure.

Plant natives to increase your vegetable garden yield

Add native flowers in or near your vegetable garden to improve your garden's productivity.

Install rain barrels

They are an easy way to save rain water for use in the yard when rain is scarce.

Feed birds in summer too

The food you provide in summer will help sustain energy levels of adult parents while they forage for other food for their young.

Conserve water

The most significant contribution you can make to conserving our precious water is to convert your water-thirsty lawn to native plants, including native ground covers.
