Gardening in a Drought Climate

Master Gardener David Peterson will detail methods of protecting the garden during the current drought, which is a regular occurrence in the Bay Area.  He will discuss the biological effects of drought on plant life, how to use native and Mediterranean plants that are naturally adapted to low-water climates like ours, plus simple ways to reduce water use by at least ten percent.  Other topics include: irrigation, mulches, how to save household water for thirsty plants, and making the best use of less water.
