Once we understand how long to water the last variable factor for water conservation is how often to water. During this session we cover where to find data to help you know when to water. Irrigation components like pop up spray heads, rotors, drip irrigation, valves and filters all impact your systems efficiency. We will review the components and learn what they do and how they impact water conservation. Finally, irrigation technicians will be on location to help you learn how to properly maintain and adjust your system. This will be hands on, so be ready to get wet! Date | Saturday, May 21 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Location | The Water Conservation Garden Register here for free! This event is free and open to the public.

Have you been trying to muster up the energy to complete your creative project for a while now? Are you recently retired, perhaps, and looking to get back into that artistic hobby you always loved before LIFE took over? Or maybe you work in an artistic field, always on other people’s projects…just never on your own? This powerful, seven-week course is for novices and working artists of all types, including writers, visual artists, actors, dancers, musicians…ANYONE who recognizes their innate creativity! In a supportive and safe setting we will: • work through the chapters and exercises in The Artist’s Way • take a look “behind the scenes”–those people, places, things in both our past and present that keep us from plunging forward with our art • hold ourselves accountable to daily/weekly creative practices and (at least!) one project each that we will share at the last class • discover new processes to make us more pro-active and productive • re-discover joy, in little things, in one another, and in our day to day lives. Bring a copy of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and a 9″ x 11” unlined sketchbook. No previous art experience required.

Though this class is offered as part of the Certificate in Memoir Writing, there is no pre-requisite to join this class. All students, members, and nonmembers are encouraged to enroll. Agents often share that what makes a memoir stand out in the marketplace is a strong author’s voice. In this workshop we will uncover the soul of the writing with fun and interactive voice techniques to make the storytelling as dynamic as possible. Students will also learn how to craft smooth transitions as well as how to enter and exit a chapter or scene. Participants will gain a better understanding how to create a seamless text that takes the reader between past memories (flashbacks) and present-day experiences and observations. We will work on bringing the theme of the piece to life so that the manuscript will resonate with universal meaning. Symbolism will also be explored as a way to deepen the writing and flesh out the theme of your book. Class structure: Except for the first class, the first hour will be lecture and the second hour will be read and critique where participants can workshop their material or class assignments. Tone of class: We strive to create a supportive, nurturing environment where participants feel encouraged to share, risk and connect to their most creative self. Our textbook, 7 Essential Writing Tools, is available for purchase on the first day of class for $10 or on Amazon/Kindle. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook + Instagram
