Maintenance recommendation

VETTED SOURCES

There are many opinions on and multiple acceptable ways to maintain plants. In an effort for clarity and transparency, below are the resources we used for the maintenance recommendations found in the Inland Valley Garden Planner. They are a combination of professional experience from Waterwise Conservation Center / Chino Basin Water Conservation District staff and trusted outside sources. If you have additional recommendations or disagree with our recommendations for any of the plants, we would love to hear from you at [email protected]. We are constantly striving to improve the usefulness of this resource.
