WELLSPRING

Here’s a wild fact: nearly 20% of California’s electricity goes just to treating and pumping water hundreds of miles all across the state. That means water conservation for Angelenos isn’t just about fighting drought—it’s also a super important way to cut our state’s overall carbon footprint. From shorter showers to smarter food choices, here’s how you can start making a difference today.  

Fire-resilient landscaping isn’t just about picking the “right” combination of fire-resistant plants and mulch. It’s only by thinking with holistic ecosystem health in mind that we create landscapes that are truly climate-resilient.

Fall is here, and now is the perfect time to start prepping your yard for the rainy season ahead. With just a little bit of prep work, you can design a rain garden that’s ready to capture every drop—saving water, reducing runoff, and keeping your plant babies thriving and happy. 

Climate whiplash means that huge swings from really wet to really dry seasons are bound to become the new normal. But what does that mean for everyday Angelenos? More importantly, are we in a drought or not?!
