6:30pm-8pm
Join us for a special presentation on irrigation basics by Patty Hamilton from Harmony Farms in Sebastopol.
She has been working as a Certified Irrigation Designer for 23 of her 26 years at Harmony Farms. Patty will offer an informative presentation on the benefits of drip irrigation and low-volume watering and how it saves water, deters weeds, and decreases disease.
She will cover typical applications and design considerations including the basic hose bibb head assembly, filters, pressure regulators, drip hose, fittings, assembly tools, types of drip emitters, spaghetti tubing,
inline emitters, soaker-type tubing, mini-sprinklers and troubleshooting tips.
A brief assembly demonstration of drip system components will be included in the presentation.
Program held at our rose garden at 2050 Yulupa Ave, Santa Rosa, (Luther Burbank Art & Garden Center)
