WATERING FAVOURS

If you're going to be out of town for more than a couple days, here are the three best ways to keep your plants happy and well-watered:

1. Ask a friend or family member.
2. Post a request (with your bed numbers) on the notice board.
3. Use ‘Please Water Me’ sign or make your own with a piece of cardboard.
