Gardening in the Mountains presents:
Managing Water in Your Garden
Appropriate planning and forethought can reduce the consequences of too little or too much water in the garden. Garden design and maintenance should consider not only how much water a garden will need, but also when and from what sources. As city and well water becomes increasingly expensive, it is more important than ever to manage water use in our gardens in cost effective and environmentally sustainable ways. This presentation explores the weather conditions of WNC and methods of effective water use for gardeners.
