Fall 2007
Horticulture Lecture Series

Thursday Evenings, 7:00 to 8:30 pm

At the Cabrillo College Environmental Horticulture Center

Room 5005, “Top of the Campus”

Join us for this five lecture series on Water Use in the Landscape.  Water is a critical natural resource that must be protected and used wisely. We will follow waters flow into our environment and see how it is used.  Who is using the water and what are they using it for? Can you garden with limited water?  Can you harvest the water that naturally falls on your property and use it later? What are the tools we can use to reduce your water application? And can this be done and still have all the coolest plants in your yard?

The series of five lectures is $40 when purchased as a group; or $10 per lecture if attended individually.
