All this rain has been good for your gardens and our catchments, however just because it's raining doesn't mean we should stop conserving water.
Drinking water is a precious resource, so make sure you're not wasting it. If you're worried about your gardens and lawn not having enough water when the weather heats up, start collecting rain water now! Rain water is a great option to give your garden some extra love as we look to enter the warmer months.
Our top #waterlovers tip this week is turn the tap off when brushing your teeth! Don't let litres of our precious drinking resource pour straight down the drain.
