On January 19, online media site The Cool Down wrote an article discussing a California homeowner’s front yard transformation. The garden featured low-water plants such as cacti and succulents, such as agave. The article focused on the “eco-friendly gardening solution that optimizes rainwater collection,” considering California’s vulnerability to droughts.

Rain Bird’s expertise was highlighted in the article: “installing a drought tolerant garden helps reduce household water use, runoff pollution, plant disease, pest infestations, wildlife habitat loss, and soil erosion.”
