Naturescaping Basics: Naturescaping is the practice of designing (or redesigning) a landscape that provides wildlife habitat, reduces water use and pollution without sacrificing splendor. You will receive a workbook and take home a free native plant!

Site Planning 1: Details the steps involved in planning a landscape. You will learn how to map your property, assess your garden style and needs, and work on a group design scenario. Prerequisite: Naturescaping Basics.

Native Plant Workshop: Create beautiful landscapes that attract birds, butterflies and other pollinators into your garden by using native plants! This workshop will explore which native plants are most appropriate for your urban landscape.

Rain Gardens 101: You’ll learn how to assess your property for the best rain garden location and size, choose the right plants and how to construct and maintain your rain garden.
