SUMMARY:(Online) Drought-Proof Gardening Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Here in California\, droughts are part of our natural weather cycles. But when drought conditions persist for long periods of time\, it can significantly impact plant health in a number of ways. Lack of water limits a plant’s ability to produce food\, and stressed plants can release chemicals that can attract pests. Excessive heat can accelerate the reproduction time of pests. Learn to create a water-efficient garden that will look beautiful through the dryer months. Suzanne Bontempo from OWOW (Our Water Our World) shares techniques and strategies for water-wise gardening that will help keep your garden healthy and pest-free. This webinar is a must for every gardener! \nThis program is proudly sponsored by the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District & the Vallejo Flood & Wastewater District \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9pWY5nF-S-aNulkJmRPVxA
