Instructor: Tom Bressan

In this workshop you’ll get hands-on experience setting up a simple drip system, look at how irrigation systems go together, and discuss how to convert sprinkler systems to drip. Using the new California water conservation guidelines, you will learn how to water your garden using climate smart irrigation. It’s not as complicated – or as costly – as you might think, and applicable whether you’re growing food, flowers, or natives! We will also explore new advances in irrigation technology and determine which products are best to use.

All questions are welcome! Feel free to bring a picture or a sample of something you have a question about.
