I am on an email list for the City of Glendale Water Conservation Dept, although I live in Phoenix. Received the following today. I have attended classes put on by the Water Conservation Dept in the past and they were great. Good speakers, excellent handouts. Note Mary Irish is presenting "Desert Vegetable Gardening Made Easy [ed. yeah right!!] on Oct 19th. You do not need to be a Glendale resident to attend.

It's easy to register - just call or email to let me know if you'd like to attend. Here's how:

Phone: 623-930-3760

Note - If you call while I'm out of the office, please leave a message. All I need is your name, phone number, and the number of people who will be attending.
