Horticulture Pros & Irrigation Experts - Budget Watering Mistakes

Source request! I’m working on a story for HGTV about watering mistakes. I'm looking to interview TWO horticulture professionals, landscapers, irrigation experts, or experienced garden center staff. The angle is practical and budget-conscious: With many homeowners trying to keep water bills lower while still maintaining healthy gardens, I’m looking for smart, strategic watering advice that actually works. Topics may include: • Common watering mistakes homeowners make • How to water more efficiently during heat and drought • Signs plants are overwatered vs. underwatered • Best times of day to water • Water-saving techniques professionals rely on • Container and raised bed watering tips • Mulching, drip irrigation, and soil strategies that reduce water use This is for a longer-lead consumer gardening story, and I’d especially love insight from professionals who work directly with homeowners and see these issues firsthand. If you’d be interested in contributing or know someone who would, please comment below or DM me. Thanks!
