On July 22, 2023 ABG members and other participants attended a demonstration and talk on irrigation by two Alameda County Master Gardeners, who focused on saving water and still meet the needs of plants!

Our speakers provided an explanation of the drip irrigation system used at the Master Gardeners’ site at the Gardens at Lake Merritt in Oakland. The presentation demonstrated how to construct a drip irrigation system that waters plants with different water needs. The water requirements for various plants growing in Oakland and surrounding cities and the different ways drip irrigation can be used was also discussed. This event was part of a series of summer garden talks by the Alameda County Master Gardeners at the Master Gardener site at the Gardens at Lake Merritt.
About Our Speakers: David Blood, Hugh Globerson (ACMG class of 2019) and Margaret Wong (ACMG class of 2014) are active long-term volunteers at this garden.
