Discover the changes you can make to help build a resilient garden in a changing climate while improving the water quality in the local watershed. Learn how to implement various sustainable gardening and landscaping techniques that manage and conserve water. Reduce the demands of water management infrastructure by capturing the rain and keeping it onsite. Outdoor learning conducted to complement the lectures may include walking over rolling terrain and mulched paths. This class is rain or shine.
