Join the Atlanta Botanical Garden and Food Well Alliance as we continue our Plant. Eat. Repeat. workshops focused on water conservation in the garden. This summer, join us at Clarkston International Garden to learn about mulching and drip irrigation!

What we'll cover:

  • The pros and cons of different mulch subtrates

  • Tips for effective mulching

  • How to use and maintain a drip irrigation system

You’ll leave with smart, sustainable strategies to protect your plants from heat and drought, while also reducing your water use.

Global Growers Network (GGN) partners with people from multiple communities to grow fresh food for their families and for local marketplaces. GGN facilitates access to 10 farm, community garden and orchard sites across metro Atlanta, including Clarkston International Garden.
