Water Elements of a Garden
-
- Home & Garden
Water is an essential aspect of gardening in Southern California. In the first episode of Elements of a Garden, Evan and Alex discuss Alex’s approach to watering and water capture in his home garden. They also discuss the legacy of water importation in Los Angeles, as well as global cycles of weather that drive precipitation in Southern California.
Plant: Blue Palo Verde (Parkinsonia florida) Presented by Esther Fernandez
Elements of a Garden, the 2023 Native Plant Garden Tour podcast celebrates the hidden meaning within our gardens — how each element is nested within something larger: a seed, a plant, a garden, an ecosystem. Join UCLA climate scientist and native plant gardener Dr. Alex Hall and TPF Executive Director Evan Meyer for an exploration of a single garden within the deeper context of environmental and cultural forces shaping our changing planet.
