Sweetwater Collaborative is proud to announce that our fall 101 series will continue at MacKenzie Park Adult Building, at Las Positas and State, on Dec 6th and 12th, from 6:30-8:00 PM. Parking is available in the adjacent lot.

Greywater is one innovative water source that is produced year round. It is often used for fruit trees or other medium water use plants that provide shade, privacy or beauty in the garden.  Two types of greywater systems can be installed permit free in most of Santa Barbara County, Laundry to Landscape and Showers to Flowers.

Learn more at our Greywater 101 class on Thursday, Dec 6 from 6:30-8:00 pm at the MacKenzie Park Adult Building, 3111 State St, Santa Barbara 93105.  Enter the park from Las Positas.

Join us for Water Wise Maintenance 101 on Dec 12 from 6:30-8:00 pm. Garden maintenance is the key to thriving plants, biologically rich soil, lower water use, and long term sustainability. In this class learn the basics of plant establishment, irrigation, pruning, fertilization/mulching, and weeding, to make the most of your water wise garden.

  Both classes are sponsored in part by the City of Santa Barbara Water Conservation Program. Suggested donation: $10/person or $15/couple can be made to Sweetwater Collaborate
 Register online at sweetwatercollaborative.org or walk-in on the day of the class.
