Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD), in partnership with Sacramento Tree Foundation, invites community members to attend “Thirst Aid for Trees,” a free summer tree care event on Friday, July 24, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the SSWD Garden on Eden, 4900 Eden Court in Carmichael.

The event will feature hands-on demonstrations showing how to properly water both newly planted and established trees during Sacramento’s hottest months. Attendees can stop by anytime during the event to learn simple techniques that help trees remain healthy and resilient throughout the summer.

Visitors will receive a free pre-drilled tree-watering bucket and water-saving devices, one per household, while supplies last. The buckets are designed to slowly deliver water to a tree’s root zone and include instructions to help homeowners continue using the technique at home.

Please let us know if you have any questions by calling 916.972.7171 or emailing help@sswd.org. 

Throughout the event, attendees will be able to:

• Learn how to water newly planted and established trees
• Pick up a free tree-watering bucket and water-saving devices
• See demonstrations of weather-based sprinkler timers
• Enter a raffle for a WaterSense-labeled weather-based sprinkler timer
• Meet representatives from Sacramento Tree Foundation
• Learn about SSWD rebates and water-saving programs
• Explore the Garden on Eden demonstration garden
