Pop quiz:
What is one thing you can count on in Boise in the summer? Answer: heat.
What is one thing you can’t take for granted in the West? Answer: water.
As the balance of those critical factors test our lawns every summer, it is helpful to know how to make the best use of water. Idaho Rivers United is dedicated to not only protecting our rivers but also with educating citizens on overall water policy and conservation.
On Tuesday, June 16th, Idaho Rivers United will be conducting a Water Wise Garden Tour to highlight efficient gardening practices. Attendees will enjoy food and drink at the MK Nature Center along with a guided tour of their demonstration garden and presentations. They will then be transported to tour four Water Wise gardens around the city. Experts will be at each site to talk about the plants and the design, and the owners will also be available to talk about upkeep and water savings. The tours will end at 9pm.
Tickets are $20 for Idaho Rivers United members and $25 for non-members. For a $35 donation you get to go on the tour and join Idaho Rivers United.
