Irrigation Basics for Native Plants with Erik Blank

No matter how drought tolerant they may be, California native plants still need water. Even during the dormant period, it's wise to hydrate in order to get them through the brutal summer. But there's so many questions: Which plants need more attention? When to do it? How much to water?

Irrigation 101: Learn about a variety of irrigation methods, to help manage your native garden during these dry months. Get tips on benefits and drawbacks for overhead, drip and hand-watering equipment. Bring sun protection and a water bottle.

This walk and talk will be held outdoors in our demonstration gardens. We ask guests to wear closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and to prepare for up to one hour of walking on sloped and uneven surfaces. Water bottles are strongly recommended.
