RANCHO SAN DIEGO, CA—The Water Conservation Garden’s Water Smart Pipeline is now accessible to the public 24 hours a day. Callers may record their questions day or night on the “Pipeline’s” voicemail, and will get a return phone call during Pipeline hours from local gardening expert, Nan Sterman, author of theCalifornia Gardener’s Guide, Volume 2, and host of the television gardening program, “A Growing Passion”.
Popular since its debut, the horticultural help is designed to answer people’s questions about how to garden in the current water shortage fraught with supply restrictions and rate increases.
