Location
Studies have shown that without shade, sparsely planted waterwise gardens may be closer in temperature to exposed parking lots than irrigated lawns. However, with the addition of a low-water use tree, water efficient gardens can provide localized cooling.
Come join us for an on-site presentation on low-water trees. Learn about new varieties specifically adapted to the East Bay climate. Stew Winchester, Horticultural Consultant and Merritt College Instructor, and Jolene Bertetto, EBMUD Water Conservation Representative, will lead the discussion. View trees, learn about habit, low-water adaptations, and share your knowledge and experience on this topic. The presentation will also cover EBMUD water supply, a drought update, and water conservation programs.
