In this week’s Ecollywood column on Mother Nature Network, author Gerri Miller talks about having environmental conversations with celebrities at last Saturday’s Pageant of the Masters Celeb Gaga, and Marg is mentioned.

Marg Helgenberger, who we also bumped into at the event, is into gardening and water conservation. “I’ve got a drought-tolerant garden with succulents and a lot of gravel. It’s not that thirsty,” said the actress, now shooting season 11 of “CSI“, premiering Sept. 23 on CBS. This year, she’ll become romantically involved with one of the show’s recurring characters, Detective Vartann (Alex Carter). She’ll also take part in the multi-network “Stand Up to Cancer” telethon on Sept. 10.
