Water-Wise Vegetable Garden March 19, 2011

Bernheim is offering a new series of hands-on workshops that teach sustainable horticulture practices. Smart Garden and Landscapes programs are designed to help you transform your yard, urban space, rooftop and street side into green spaces that are attractive, food-producing and beneficial to people's lives and the environment. Let Bernheim show you how to prepare and plan your own spring garden as you learn about plants, soil, ecology, insects, wildlife and much more. March's program is on water-wise vegetable gardening. Proper watering technique is an essential gardening skill to learn. It is important to know when to apply water and how much water to apply. Join this program to learn about watering frequency and amount, watering techniques and timing, and water conserving catchment systems (i.e., rain barrels) and practices.
