Gardens are often designed in ways that require significant resources-water, fertilizer, pesticides, fuel, and labor. Learn from Shannon Currey, education & outreach at Izel Native Plants, about how to minimize these inputs and create a garden that instead adds ecological benefits while building resilience. This first installment in our low-resource landscaping series focuses on managing the water that falls on our landscapes-how we treat it, as well as making plant choices that support its role as a precious resource. Leave the class with a better understanding of how plants can improve drainage and help your garden in the face of increasingly severe storms. Meet in the classroom inside the Doris Duke Center.
