What's up with your Water?

Think about everything you do to care for your plants. You provide the proper soil environment, with the appropriate drainage and structure. You try to give your plants just the right amount of sunlight. You carefully choose the correct pot. In all this, you are doing your best to mimic the conditions of your plant(s) in the wild. So why wouldn’t you match the characteristics of your water to what plants would receive in a natural environment?

At this meeting, you will learn about the importance of water, how you can test your water, and what you can do to adjust the acidity of your water to best meet the needs of your plants.

Please bring one gallon of the water you normally use to water your plants to the meeting. You will learn how to analyze your water and methods to adjust the pH.
