Water is a critical natural resource. Doug Mandel, Master Gardener and founder of the educational nonprofit Ghost Pine Native Nursery, will discuss the basics of rainwater harvesting, concentrating on creating rain gardens to support your garden ecosystem. Our extreme Mediterranean climate presents both advantages and challenges to rainwater harvesting. In addition to rain gardens, we will discuss berms and swales, dry creek beds, terraces, and rainwater catchment storage. You will leave this talk with a better understanding of our precious water resource and how to keep it in your unique home watershed.
