“Protecting Gardens During Drought” will be the timely topic of the Livermore-Amador Valley Garden Club at its online monthly meeting at 7 p.m. this Thursday (Sept. 9).
“When drought conditions persist, they can significantly impact plant health in a number of ways, including making plants more prone to attracting pests,” said environmental educator Suzanne Bontempo of Our Water Our World, who will be the guest speaker. “Excessive heat also can accelerate the reproduction time of pests, but there are simple ways to combat these problems.”
Her talk will cover the following points:
* Managing a garden during drought conditions
* Watering efficiently and effectively
* Improving soil to hold more water
* Utilizing alternative water sources
* Reducing summer pests
Club members will be provided with a link to the online presentation. Prospective members who would like to participate should contact president@lavgc.org for the link.
Currently the September and October meetings are planned to be online only, pending further public health directives regarding the pandemic.
