Service Description

Drip irrigation has many benefits. It saves water, minimizes weed growth, generates productive plants, and is the easiest, most efficient way to water gardens. Yet the bewildering array of systems, parts, and possibilities can be bewildering. This basic class will make the subject of drip irrigation approachable, easy, and practical. It will cover how to determine and install a standardized efficient system for each part of your garden- large, small, in boxes, or the ground, in containers, and around trees. Long-term ease of maintenance is a goal. This hands-on class will include informational handouts. Taught by Kate Frey, who is a well-known garden designer, pollinator advocate, and garden educator. She designed noted gardens in California such as the organic public garden at Fetzer Vineyards, Lynmar Winery and the Melissa Garden in Healdsburg. Her gardens won two gold medals and one silver-gilt medal at the Chelsea Flower Show in London, a rare honor for an American designer. She has created gardens in Malaysia and Japan and managed an organic farm in Saudi Arabia. Kate is a regular garden columnist and writer. Her book "The Bee-Friendly Garden" was selected as one of the best 2017 gardening books of the year. Her book "Ground Rules" was published by Workman Publishing in 2018. Kate has a B.A. in English. NO REFUNDS—but you may gift your class to a friend if you are unable to attend.
