| Class: Rainwater Harvesting | |
|
The rainy season is just beginning here in California and hopefully 2009/2010 will be wetter than the drought conditions of the past three years. But no matter what the weather holds, we can prepare for the coming dry season by collecting and storing rain water. This class explores methods of rainwater harvesting and storage from roof materials, to tanks and their costs, to landworks, and finally to using pure, sweet rainwater in your garden. We'll discuss permitting, mosquitos, and calculating the amounts of rainwater against the cost of storage. We'll show how rainwater harvesting not only saves water, but energy and infrastructure as well, and how it can be a part of every garden. Instructor Sherri Osaka is the owner of Sustainable Landscape Designs and is co-founder of the Sustainable Landscape Roundtable, an organization that encourages to landscape professionals to adopt ecological practices, and a director of the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the California Native Plant Society.
