Sure, watering seems pretty simple and straightforward—until you're the one holding the hose. As much as we'd like to believe watering is as easy as "point and spray", there's a real art (and a touch of science) to doing it right. Join Greg, our Director of Horticulture, for a deep dive into the wet and wild world of watering as he shares how to keep your plants happy and hydrated without wasting a drop. From getting new plants established, to selecting and maintaining the right equipment to suit your needs, Greg will cover everything you need to know to water smarter, not harder. This is one of the most important, yet easily overlooked skills in gardening. Don't miss this opportunity to grow your watering wisdom!
