Gardening for Wildlife in our Drought
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Northbrae Community Church
(see times)
Our current drought has challenged landscape architects to find new ways to design residential landscapes. As we move away from water-intensive plants and lawns, towards designs that incorporate drought-tolerant and native species, there are new opportunities to create more sustainable landscapes with diverse habitats for birds and butterflies. Nancy Kent, a California landscape architect with a practice in Oakland, will discuss evolving garden design and garden elements that encourage diverse wildlife and plant communities.
A Parks Commissioner for Piedmont, Nancy Kent is working with the city, EBMUD and StopWaste.org to create a bay-friendly park from a water-intensive lawn landscape
