Water-Wise Perennials and Gardening
SUNDAY, June 30, 2-3:30

In the recent past, the Northeast experienced some summers more like southern California. Water for gardening became scarce or very expensive. As we gardeners are used to letting Mother Nature do the watering for us, many of our gardens suffered with the dire lack of rain. As our climate changes, summers will be hotter and drier. If it rains, it falls way too quickly, causing damaging runoff rather than gently soaking into the soil.

Join Sarah Salatino of Full Circle Gardens and explore ways to rethink how we garden to prepare for when drought happens again. This presentation will give you water-wise ideas, practices, and perennial varieties to help keep your gardens gorgeous during droughts. FREE EMG-E
