Bee Balm is definitely a funky looking plant! One of my favorite was to save water in my garden each year is by planting native plants! Bee Balm is just one of the many cool flowers native to Long Island. Some of my other favorites are Purple coneflowers and Black-eyed Susan’s. I’d say looking into plants native to Long Island is definitely something worth doing before you plant your garden this year!
That’s a great question. We recommend taking four steps to save water during the winter, which will also save you money!
1. Install WaterSense products. WaterSense products meet requirements that help save a lot of water. Some products include showerheads, faucets, toilets, and smart irrigation controllers. Check them out through your lawn service company or online at Home Depot, Walmart, and Amazon!
2. Start planning your water efficient garden and landscape early! Research and plan your trees, shrubs, flowers, and lawn to save water, rather than to waste water.
3. Curb indoor water waste habits and opt to practice water-friendly habits. Some examples include turning off the water while brushing your teeth and defrosting food in the fridge overnight. Check and follow our social media for more tips!
4. Check for leaks using a smart water sensor device! These devices connect wirelessly to an app on your phone and show your household water use. Buy these at Home Depot, Walmart, and Amazon!
