The Camel's Garden: Drought Tolerant Plants for a Changing Climate

When the dog days of summer hit, many of us are faced with water bans that limit our ability to water our lush gardens. What if we started to incorporate plants that simply need less water? Jen will share the effects of drought on woody plants and describe plant adaptations for dealing with drought. Most importantly, she will introduce you to a new palette of plant material that will decrease your water use while increasing species diversity and beauty in your home landscape.

This program is funded in part by a grant from the Burlington Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
