Skeeter Gallagher, MGHC Vice President, comments, “This month’s 3rd Saturday class focuses on the importance of managing water in our yards and gardens. Our area experiences both heavy rains and long dry spells resulting in either too much water or not enough. How we manage water is vital to our environment. Master Gardener Jennifer Dornbush, an experienced gardener and teacher, will explain how installing drip irrigation for garden beds is an efficient and cost-effective way to water during summer months. Master Gardener Bruce Keown, former stormwater inspector and lawn care professional, will talk about rain gardens as an ecologically sound and attractive way to manage water runoff and wet spots in our backyard landscapes. We invite the public to join us and learn how to garden safely and productively.”
