While our gardens are well supplied with natural water there are times when they suffer from a lack of moisture.
In this 30-minute session, Associate Editor, David Hurrion will share his 50 years of experience on watering plants; from choosing plants with low water requirements to keeping the soil in good condition so that it stays moist in dry weather, and catching as much rainwater as possible when it falls, to using it wisely at the right time of day.
The session will be split into a 15-minute presentation, followed by a 15-minute live audience Q&A.
