Georgia will allow citizens to hand-water gardens and landscaping on a limited basis beginning April 1, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The state had been enforcing a near-total ban on outdoor watering due to the ongoing drought.
“If these watering guidelines remain in place and are consistently applied across all north Georgia municipalities then this should be good news for our industry,” said Bill Turk, president of Southern Nursery Association, in a letter to members. “While this is only a start at recognizing both the environmental and economic benefits of healthy landscapes, this is clearly a step in the right direction.”
