California's current drought is imposing water restrictions that have us scrambling to figure out how to use less water in our gardens. Irrigation and water-efficiency expert and UC Master Gardener volunteer Lori Palmquist will provide you with a veritable buffet of strategies for lowering your water use in the landscape. She'll provide a no-nonsense approach to using water wisely and responsibly. You'll come away with new tools for drought-proofing your landscape.
UC Program Coordinator, Dawn Kooyumjian will discuss Mediterranean climates similar to our San Francisco Bay Area, and the vast array of beautiful plants that thrive in this climate. Learn how plants have adapted to regions with little to no summer rain and relatively cool winters with rain. A drought-tolerant garden need not be a lone cactus in a sea of rocks! You will come away inspired and with a deeper understanding of gardening with limited water.
