It’s a dry year. Now is a great time to consider transforming your thirsty lawn into a water-wise, habitat providing garden oasis! Whether you’re looking for perfect cut flowers, creating habitat to invite more pollinators in your garden, or pitching in to help save water this year, there are so many native and drought-tolerant plants to choose from! Where do you begin?

On May 6, 2021, Daily Acts staff Annie Silverman and Connor DeVane partnered with the City of Petaluma to share a presentation on some favorite water-wise plants, then led a discussion with community members about their various plant selection and garden questions.
