From the Mission Times Courier:

The 3rd Annual California-Friendly Gardening Festival, Saturday, October 27, from 9am-3pm, at the Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College, comes at just the right time to help San Diegans learn about water-wise landscapes suited for our semi-arid climate, and to find beautiful drought-tolerant plants that will bring their landscapes to life. The festival comes at the end of another historically dry year, and on the heels of the recent federal court ruling to restrict operations on pumps that supply water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and ultimately to three million San Diego County residents.

“Given the ongoing lack of rain, and the upcoming restrictions on water supplies from the Delta, drought-tolerant landscapes are an increasingly important water conservation measure,” said Marty Eberhardt, executive director of the Garden. “The festival offers a marketplace for drought-tolerant plants from local nurseries, and education about California-Friendly landscapes in a family-friendly environment that promises activities and fun for everyone.”
