Olivenhain Municipal Water District and partners invite the public to attend a free Native Plants and Waterwise Landscaping Workshop. The workshop will be held on Saturday, March 14 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., in OMWD’s boardroom, located at 1966 Olivenhain Road in Encinitas.

Steve Sherman from California Landscape Technologies will explain how to choose attractive, waterwise, low-maintenance, and non-invasive plants. Native plants naturally thrive in San Diego’s soils and climate. They also support pollinators like bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.

Plant options include dudleya, red buckwheat, and silver carpet. Attendees will also learn maintenance tips to help native plants grow and thrive. Participants are invited to tour OMWD’s California-Friendly Demonstration Garden after the presentation for inspiration. 

This workshop is offered in partnership with San Dieguito Water District, Santa Fe Irrigation District, and Escondido Creek Conservancy. Space is limited. Registration is required at www.olivenhain.com/events.
