This program is approved for 1 CEU with the Association of Professional Landscape Designers.
With higher temperatures and increased drought conditions across the country, many people are reexamining which plants will survive in a changing climate. In this class, you will gain an understanding of both the plants and practices that can lower our reliance on water resources critical to garden sustainability. Coupling that knowledge with strategies to evaluate existing site information will help us navigate this new normal. You will learn the characteristics and behavior of drought-tolerant plants, tap into conditions our site can reveal about its current state, and review a selection of plants that prefer, or tolerate, drier conditions.
