  • Wednesday, May 28, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Eastern – Another Season of Drought, Online

    As drought conditions and higher temperatures persist across our region, many gardeners are reexamining which plants will survive in a changing climate. Here we will gain an understanding of native plants and gardening practices that can lower our reliance on water resources critical to sustainability. Coupling that knowledge with methods to evaluate existing site information will help us navigate this new normal. This Native Plants Trust webinar will take place May 28 from 6 – 8 Eastern, with Cheryl Salatino. $45. Register at https://www.nativeplanttrust.org/events/another-season-of-drought/ A recording of this class will be available to all registrants for two weeks after the class.
