About this Event

Hillsides are a challenge, whether they're dry or irrigated, sunny or shady. We will address many of the issues involved in hillside gardening and discuss site assessment, irrigation best practices, design techniques, and plant selection. We will also tour the sloped garden areas at GFE and see multiple practical ideas to inspire you. Wear comfortable walking shoes for varied terrain.
