North Scottsdale’s Holland Center to host seminar on garden watering

Julie Knapp, a Maricopa County master gardener, certified agriscape designer and a former college professor for 30 years, will speak on garden watering solutions at the Holland Center, 34250 N 60th St., Nov. 19.

The seminar, “Ollas: An Ancient Solution for Modern-day Watering Challenges,” is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Do you have areas in your garden that don’t have modern watering systems, yet you want to plant annuals and perennials there? Are you tired of spending so much to water your garden and are looking for ways to conserve water? This class will help you apply ancient and modern techniques, such as ollas and wicking, to bring water to your gardens and landscapes without using traditional flood or drip irrigation.

The seminar is free, though donations are encouraged.
