THE City of Santa Clara is encouraging residents to go green, especially with Earth Day (Monday, April 22) just having been celebrated.
Visit the city’s website to start your landscape conversion rebate: https://www.santaclaraca.gov/our-city/departments-g-z/water-sewer-utilities/water-conservation/water-rebates.
The City of Santa Clara hopes you’ll help stretch precious water resources by switching from thirsty lawn to a water wise, habitat-boosting California native garden. To further encourage you, it is offering up to $5,000 to residents and $110,000 to businesses. That’s a lot of green!
If you’re tempted, but not sure where to start, check out the city’s Garden Guide (https://www.santaclaraca.gov/our-city/departments-g-z/water-sewer-utilities/water-conservation/garden-guide) with native plant and gardening resources, qualifying plant photo glossaries and other helpful resources.
