In the early spring season, most stores delay turning on their water systems due to freezing temperatures. Some stores may have a frost free water supply on the side or front of the building for use. Pictured Below:

If you notice dry plants please let the Meijer team know. In some cases you may have to water the plants yourself as we should make sure all plants are watered before we leave for the day
If lack of water becomes a consistent issue please let your Field Coordinator know
Watering Issue Suggestions:
- Pre-Season- Ensure overhead sprinklers are working, if not let Meijer management know
- Sprinkler Timer- Talk with Meijer management about getting the sprinklers set up on a timer
- Spot Watering- Grab a hose and help spot water whenever needed
- Product Placement- Avoid putting shade product, and water loving plants in the full sun
Weekend Watering- help Meijer get a plan together for watering over the weekend
