Join our June Speaker Series as AmyJo Detweiler, OSU Extension Service, shares how gardeners can serve as good earth stewards while growing a thriving garden. AmyJo will cover the seven main components of a waterwise garden including planning and design, soil, irrigation, plant selection, turf and turf alternatives, mulch, and general maintenance.
