Water is the true foundation of healthy gardens and a living planet. The steps we take to grow healthy living soils are the same steps we take to mitigate and even help our gardens thrive during dry conditions. Starting with growing healthy soil, you can drought-proof the garden to grow more with less water. Learn how to plant a water-friendly garden, catch and keep the water that’s available, and maximize the benefits of organic matter to grow healthy living soil and plants all year round. Ea (Elizabeth) Murphy is a soil scientist and author of Building Soil: A Down-to-Earth Approach (Cool Springs Press, 2015). Her passion for growing food led to a master's degree from University of California Davis in International Agricultural Development, with a focus on water and sustainable ways to improve it. THIS CLASS IS FREE BUT REQUIRES PRE-REGISTRATION.
