Planting Mediterranean Climate Zone Plants for Resilient Garden

Day: Saturday
Date/Time: March 8, 2025 (9 AM - 12 PM)
Location: Monterey Campus, 980 Fremont Street, Monterey

Ever wondered why some plants in your garden thrive while others struggle? This course will help you understand the secrets of successful gardening in a Mediterranean climate. You’ll learn about the five distinct world climate zones and how to select plants that do well in our summer-dry, winter-wet conditions. We'll explore why hardy plants, including California Natives from the Central Coast, are perfect for your landscape.

Topics include designing a garden with California’s unique style, choosing drought-tolerant and low-maintenance plants, planning for seasonal color, and selecting plants that are fire-resistant. You'll also discover how to build a more resilient landscape that can stand up to the challenges of our climate.

The course includes a hands-on demonstration of planting techniques for perennials, shrubs, and trees, ensuring the best results for your garden. You’ll also get a chance to identify key plants in both slide presentations and live examples found on campus. (Be sure to bring a pen and notebook!)
