Presenters: Chrissy Freeman & Allison Chop

As many parts of our county begin mandatory water cuts because of the continuing drought, and as our summer temperatures hit record highs, it's more important than ever to be water-wise in our gardens. Please join the Master Gardeners of Nevada County for an online workshop on adapting your garden practices to thrive with less water. We'll discuss:

plant selection,
irrigation,
water-saving techniques such as mulching, and
converting lawn to landscape.
