Resilient in Brentwood
Sat, Dec 2, 2023
12:00 AM-12:00 AM
This Brentwood garden nestled in the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains uses rain as a vital resource to sustain its biodiverse ecology of plants and wildlife. Beauty and water-efficiency are equally important in maintaining this drought-resilient garden which features California native, California climate-appropriate, succulent, and edible plant communities. We will dig deeper into how the rich plant palette is supported by an automated rainwater and efficient irrigation system, and how these technologies can help our landscapes adapt to a changing climate.
Location:
Resilient in Brentwood
Los Angeles, CA
Date and Time:
Saturday, December 2
10 a.m. to 12 p.m and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
