At our meeting on December 9, Alec Pridgeon will present an updated, humorous reprise of a comprehensive talk with new videos on Nevada’s hummingbirds and their favorite nectar-bearing flowers. Learn what plants attract them to your garden here in Anthem, what feeders to buy, and why Sir David Attenborough has ranked them among the most spectacular creatures on Earth.
For our first presentation in the New Year, SCA’s Assistant Facilities and Landscape Director, Larry Fossan, plans to discuss and illustrate irrigation principles and materials with giveaways for attendees. Drip irrigation is probably the least understood landscape issue among homeowners. How often do I water? How many gallons per minute? How do I set the timer? What emitters should I buy, and where do I place them? Larry, who led the team that made the common areas of Sun City Anthem water-smart, will have all the answers. Your plants will thank you for attending.
