Irrigation for Gardeners

Gardening Basics Series - Class 6

Grow a beautiful garden while protecting the watershed and reducing the load on our natural resources. Be able to vacation in July without losing your landscape investment. Summer is the perfect time for using a water-conserving irrigation system, but winter is the perfect time for planning it and installing it. This class compares several types of irrigation systems, helps you learn how to select the proper system, design the layout, install, and maintain an economical and practical home irrigation system.

Howard Starr is a mechanical engineer, high school teacher, and a certified Organic Vegetable Specialist who has installed several irrigation systems. Angela Chandler is past President of Harris County Master Gardeners and has taught micro-irrigation for six years. She is the owner of a local company that provides piping services to industry.
