Making the Most of Water-Wise Gardening This Summer 🌿💧

With Metro Vancouver's summer water restrictions in effect, a few smart gardening habits can help keep your plants healthy while conserving water. Here's how:

🌅 Water at the Right Time

If you're using a sprinkler, water trees, shrubs, and flowers during permitted hours. Better yet, hand watering and drip irrigation are more efficient and are permitted at any time under current restrictions. *Always check your local municipality's guidelines.

🪴 Mulch for Moisture

A layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture, reduces evaporation, and keeps roots cooler during hot weather.

💦 Water the Roots, Not the Leaves

Direct water to the base of plants where it's needed most. Drip irrigation and soaker hoses help reduce waste and improve efficiency.

🌱 Check Soil Before Watering

Before reaching for the hose, check the soil a few centimetres below the surface. Water only when needed to avoid overwatering and conserve resources.

🌦️ Take Advantage of Rainfall

Adjust your watering routine after rain and consider collecting rainwater where permitted for use in your garden.

🌳 Prioritize Trees and Gardens

While lawn watering is currently prohibited across Metro Vancouver, trees, shrubs, flowers, and edible gardens can still be watered within the applicable restrictions. Established lawns can typically withstand dry summer conditions and will often recover when cooler, wetter weather returns.

Quick Tip: A healthy garden isn't about using more water—it's about using water wisely.

Our own Manraj Dosanjh, Personal Real Estate Corporation, wants us to rethink the headlines: Is the government's plan to buy up unsold condos actually a developer bailout, or is it a strategic move for Canada's long-term housing supply?

In his latest feature article for REW, Manraj breaks down why looking only at today's real estate inventory gives an incomplete picture. Because housing is a lagging system, what gets stalled in construction today directly dictates the housing shortages we will face three to five years from now.

Swipe through to read Manraj’s expert take on why we need to focus on the future development pipeline rather than just current market sentiment.
