Residents, get ready to plant a "drought friendly" garden.

As California continues to endure its latest drought, Inland Empire water agencies are again working with The Home Depot to promote the use of water saving garden friendly plants. Sales events are planned across Riverside and San Bernardino counties this spring. “Landscaping typically accounts for about 70 percent of residential water use. So by using water saving garden friendly plants, we can make more efficient use of our limited water supplies,” said Bob Tincher, manager of water resources for San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District. Water Saving Garden Friendly plant sales are scheduled as follows: — May 16, The Home Depot, 12255 Pigeon Pass Road, Moreno Valley, 8 a.m. to noon. — May 30, The Home Depot, 695 E. Hospitality Lane, San Bernardino, 8 a.m. to noon. — June 6, The Home Depot, 1151 W. Lugonia Avenue, Redlands, 8 a.m. to noon. Additional locations and dates: — May 2, The Home Depot, 11884 Foothill Boulevard, Rancho Cucamonga, 8 a.m. to noon. — May 16, The Home Depot, 14549 Ramona Avenue, Chino, 8 a.m. to noon. — May 16, The Home Depot, 3323 Madison Street, Riverside, 8 a.m. to noon. — June 6, The Home Depot, 16005 Sierra Lakes Parkway, Fontana, 8 a.m. to noon.
