Gardening for Wildlife in our Drought

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.
