      We have one workshop left in the series:

      Edible Landscapes, Rain Barrels, & Rain Chains

      Put some of that built-up living soil to use growing beautiful edible plants. The secret is planning for the smartest water use. We’ll walk through planning & planting, getting the most out of your garden without water waste.

      Snacks & beverages provided, everyone welcome!

      This Fall The River Project introduced a rainwater harvesting program called WATER LA to Studio City. We kicked off with a free summer film series all about WATER; each screening was followed by a Q&A with a panel of experts.

      We have since moved on to the Workshop phase of Water LA in Studio City, leading FREE workshops to show residents how they can CAPTURE, CONSERVE, & REUSE water on their own property.

      The workshops have included a Site Evaluation workshop where we show neighbors how to measure/plot their property and find opportunities to capture/conserve/reuse water. We led a workshop on Building Healthy Soil & Grading for Rainwater Capture. We’ve shown residents how a curb-cut can catch dry weather runoff and rain, turning your parkway into a water capture device and native habitat. We’ve shown how drought-tolerant doesn’t mean dry desert plants, and we’ve installed a Laundry-to-Landscape Greywater System.
