 | Since we launched the Land Resilience Partnership (LRP) last fall, our Programs Team have been busy bees installing beautiful water-wise landscape projects at 29 schools, parks and residences! 🐝 Check out a few of our most recent garden transformations below, and in case you missed it - make sure to check out our Fall Newsletter to learn more about the many beneficial impacts these projects have on our community. |

Martin Farm HOA: 2,700 sq ft of lawn was transformed into a water-wise garden, complete with a raingarden and 239 native and water-wise plants, saving 88,530 gallons of water per year! Watch this beautiful garden grow as you drive down East Washington in Petaluma, just off the freeway towards downtown. |

|
|
Residential Landscape Transformation: The recipients of this transformation were inspired by the three other projects we've installed in this neighborhood. Now that's a ripple! This 1,200 sq ft lawn was converted to a rain garden and includes 114 native and water-wise plants, saving 32,530 gallons of water per year! |
