Come and learn what you can do to make your landscape more sustainable and wildlife-friendly. Topics will include:

  • Native plants and their vital role in healthy ecosystems
  • Conservation landscapes serve many purposes (e.g. wildlife habitat, ease of maintenance, improved water quality, aesthetics, carbon storage, saving money)
  • Conservation landscapes are flexible (size, soil and light conditions, plant types, formal vs. informal, etc.)
  • Considerations in selecting a site for conservation landscaping
  • Site preparation to ensure success and minimize maintenance
  • Resources to select the native plants that will work for your purposes

This workshop is FREE; but Advanced Registration is required. Workshop size is limited to 30 participants.
