Learn about climate change and your garden with UC Master Gardener volunteer Lori Palmquist.

Climate change is a reality in our lives. The major challenges it presents are undeniably pressing. Too little water (drought) and too much water (atmospheric rivers) are situations we’re dealing with at an accelerated rate.

How do we respond to or prepare our properties for these climate driven events? In this talk, we’ll explore together actions we can take to minimize the impact of these challenges on our lives, homes, and landscapes.

Lori Palmquist is a UC Master Gardener and an irrigation expert and landscape water manager. She has been managing water efficiently in Bay Area residential landscapes for the past 36 years. Lori’s greatest hope is to inspire people to take action to use less water and still enjoy beautiful thriving gardens well into the future, no matter how much or how little water shows up.
