Double Workshop Day: Rainwater Harvesting 101 & Turf Management
With our out of town attendees in mind, this two-in-one workshop day was designed to make it worth the drive.
 
Friday, March 6th
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM   Rainwater Harvesting 101
12:00 PM – 12:30 PM   Lunch Break*
12:30 PM – 2:30 PM   Turf Management
 
 
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM – Rainwater Harvesting 101
Field experts will guide you through this DIY workshop to provide you with the hands-on experience needed to install a rainwater collection system of your own. This course is a requirement of the Groundwater Conservation Grant Program that reimburses up to $3,000 for implementing a rainwater harvesting system in the District! More information about the Grant Program can be found here: https://posgcd.org/grant-programs/
 
** Lunch provided by the district**
 
12:30 PM to 2:30 PM – Turf Management
This two-hour workshop will build off what was learned earlier in the day during Rainwater Harvesting 101 and focus on helping Texas homeowners with yard/turf management tips to get the most out of their lawns. The program will focus on how to create a low-maintenance, water-conserving lawn by covering how to irrigate with rainwater, select a turf-grass species adapted to this area, and train participants on management practices that keep their lawns green while still protecting water.
