With only eleven inches of rain a year on average, San Diego’s hot dry climate can be tough on garden plants.

On "Waterwise And Wonderful," Host Nan Sterman takes us to a look at climate appropriate gardens in home and commercial landscapes.

From low water plants, to water smart designs, we’ll show you beautiful gardens that are low water winners.

About The Series:

More and more San Diegan’s strive to make socially, environmentally, and economically responsible choices.

From earth-friendly and water wise gardens to organic foods and habitat restoration, we demand options that protect our health, feed our communities, and protect our natural resources.

A GROWING PASSION is a lifestyle program that explores San Diego County’s agriculture and horticulture activities as an expression of this growing earth-friendly movement.

From backyard food production to major horticultural growers, from low water landscapes to sustainable practices around the home and in the garden, we tell stories about the natural and man-made landscapes that shape the social, cultural, environmental and economic interests of our community.
