With a little planning and creativity, your yard can become an important habitat for native plants and pollinators. Not only are they gorgeous, drought tolerant and frost hardy, native plants need places to thrive and people to care for them. This workshop will cover the basics on what you need to start, what kinds of plants are suited to your conditions and where to sustainably source seeds and starter plants. You’ll also learn how to create habitat for butterflies and ground beetles in amongst your plants.
Maximum 11 participants, minimum 8 to run the workshop
