Southern California Gas Company

Landscape Professional Workshops

Landscape professionals and interested non-professionals are invited to register for one or all of these workshops sponsored by the Southern California Gas Company in collaboration with The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. In these workshops we build on the four principles of the Watershed Approach to landscaping:

  1. Build Healthy Living Soil
  2. Capture Rainwater As A Resource
  3. Select Local, Climate-Appropriate Plants
  4. Use Highly Efficient Irrigation Only When Necessary

Making a landscape Watershed Wise is no more expensive or difficult than designing and building any landscape; it just takes a little know-how and practice.The result is a gorgeous environment that functions as a healthy mini-watershed: sequestering atmospheric carbon, preventing water and air pollution, restoring the hydration and life of the soil, and attracting essential life into the garden. Most importantly, these landscapes are beautiful even in the face of very dry times.  If you are interested in a deeper dive into the theory and practice of resilient landscapes, these workshops are for you.
