How to Cope with a Slope! Tips for Gardening on Hillsides

Garden for the EnvironmentSan Francisco, CA
Saturday, July 25  •  10 AM - 12 PM
Overview

The Bay Area is full of hills, but don’t let the steep slope of your yard scare you away from creating a beautiful garden!

Hillsides are a challenge, whether they're dry or irrigated, sunny or shady. We will address many of the issues involved in hillside gardening and discuss site assessment, irrigation best practices, design techniques, and plant selection. We will also tour the sloped garden areas at GFE and see multiple practical ideas to inspire you. Wear comfortable walking shoes for varied terrain.


Instructor Ellyn Shea wears a number of hats as a gardener, garden coach, Certified Arborist, consultant and educator in San Francisco. Her checkered professional background includes landscaping, bookkeeping, teaching abroad, and community urban forestry with Friends of the Urban Forest. Visit her at www.garden-guidance.com
