SCV Water is set to host a workshop to help residents understand how to upgrade their irrigation systems to benefit their landscapes and gardens. 

The virtual workshop is free for participants and is set to cover irritation system design and operation basics, including drip irrigation and new high-efficiency spray technology. 

This includes retrofitting existing sprinklers with High-Efficiency Nozzles, which are good for areas with groundcovers, and converting to drip for individual plants. 

“Improving irrigation efficiency can improve the quality of your landscape while reducing the amount of water you need to apply,” said Tim Wheeler, owner and head instructor of The Wheeler Company. ““It’s a win-win for everyone.” 

The class is set to be taught by Stephen Williams, a professor and horticulturist on Saturday May 6 at 9 a.m. 

Attendees can expect the class to last about two hours. The gardening classes are free, but attendees must register before the event. To register visit yourscvwater.com/gardening-classes/.
