The Communal Garden: Water-wise Gardening

Classes in The Communal Garden series teach gardeners skills that can be used in community gardens or to support their community through gardening. They are low-cost in an effort to advance gardening skills in our communities. The series is a part of the Conservatory’s Growing to Green program, which supports and develops community gardens across Central Ohio.

Make every drop count in your community garden! This class will explore practical water conservation techniques, such as efficient irrigation methods, mulching, rainwater harvesting, and choosing drought-tolerant plants. Discover how to maintain healthy, productive gardens while conserving water and supporting a sustainable environment.

Instructor: Liv White With a background in sustainable agriculture, environmental education, and research, I’ve had the privilege of working with organizations such as the Chicago Park District, Ohio EPA, The Ohio State University, and Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed. I’m deeply passionate about food sovereignty, native plants, and fostering community connections through peer-to-peer learning.
