SUMMARY:BOB Talk - Gardening with Nature: Unhosed
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is impacting our environment more than ever. Our region is predicted to get less precipitation\, both in terms of rain and snow\, and in turn experience more frequent and severe wildfires as well as drought conditions. Two options are available to combat water shortages: store more water where possible\, or use less of our existing water. \nSigrie Kendrick\, Executive Director of the Okanagan Xeriscape Association\, will discuss climate-resilient landscaping. Her passion for gardening was fostered through her Australian grandfather\, and by living in Saudi Arabia\, where a day of rain is cause for a national holiday. Gardening with an emphasis on water conservation is her focus. \n\nGrab a drink\, settle in\, and enjoy an evening of big ideas and great conversation. Each ticket includes admission and one beverage. \n\nBuy tickets HERE.
