IN PERSON, REGISTERED

Many of us want to have less lawn and support pollinators, but getting started can be overwhelming.

Hosted by Reep Green Solutions, this fun, interactive workshop will show you five ways to increase the diversity of plant life so that your yard can support wildlife and improve watershed health. Whether you are just adding a few plants or converting your lawn entirely, every bit of naturalization helps. We’ll show you sample designs and guide you through critical steps in planning a garden project for your yard this spring.

Registration will take place over Eventbrite.
