Welcome to DIG!

Water use efficiency is the Long Beach Way of Life! The Direct Install Gardens (DIG) Program was created to provide homeowners in low income neighborhoods affected by environmental pollution with a sustainable landscape free-of-charge. DIG gardens are designed to reduce runoff, capture and sequester carbon dioxide, and create habitats for birds and insects.

To qualify for a DIG installation, the property/household must:

     – be an owner occupied, single family residence

     * Priority will be given to residents who meet an income requirement at or below 80% of the local median income
