Workshop Three: Drip Irrigation Fundamentals, April 29, 9-11 am
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you will build a drip system that attaches to your hose faucet. You’ll also learn troubleshooting basics and how to make the most common repairs to a drip system.

but it is low-intensity labor. Make sure to bring gloves, a water bottle, hats, and sunscreen.
