Glendale, Burbank water departments host landscaping classes

Two local utilities will co-host free landscaping classes for

residents who are not professional gardeners.

The 3 1/2-hour classes, offered by Glendale Water and Power and

Burbank Water and Power, will teach participants to identify common

water-wasting problems in irrigation systems. Residents will also

learn which plants to use in Southern California landscapes. The

classes run from 8:30 a.m. to noon Feb. 1, Feb. 8, Feb. 15 and Feb.

22 at Griffith Manor Park, 1551 Flower St. Class topics range from

basic landscape design to plants to sprinkler systems to fertilizing.
