Saturday, July 8th at 10am – Adams Kirkpatrick, designer at Sunflower Design (SunflowerDESIGN.net) and associate of CMPBS (cmpbs.org), presents “Managing Water Wisely.”
Water is a very powerful force. Many beautiful landscapes are challenged or even ruined by drainage issues: erosion, runoff, and flooding, for example. Even if these are not a problem for homeowners, many would like to learn how to harvest and use more free rainwater for their landscapes. This talk will cover different types of water management solutions for any landscape. Learn how to create “Zero Runoff” during droughts, minimize flooding during normal heavy rains, evacuate water to a safe distance during very heavy rains, and catch silt.
Adams Kirkpatrick has been designing and installing sustainable landscapes for 15 years. His work economically and artfully regenerates land. Adams is also an associate of The Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems (CMPBS). The Center is one of the oldest organizations in the world promoting affordable, regenerative design.
