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

By late summer, the sun beats down, rain barrels run low, and watering cans collect dust thanks to seasonal water bans. Gardeners watch their lush beds struggle, hoping for clouds to roll in. But what if—rather than battling nature—you could work with it?

Join renowned arborist and horticulturist Jen Kettell for an eye-opening lecture and walkabout that will transform the way you think about your landscape. You’ll discover how drought impacts woody plants, explore the fascinating adaptations that help plants survive with minimal water, and meet a fresh palette of beautiful, resilient species that thrive under dry conditions. These plants will not only reduce your water use—they’ll boost biodiversity and keep your garden looking gorgeous, even in the hottest months.

Join us for this informational Zoom presentation and leave inspired, informed, and ready to plant smarter.
