During the workshop you’ll receive an overview of different ways to reduce stromwater runoff, and get plenty of hands-on practice in restoring soils, naturescaping with native plants, creating porous pathways, and more!
All workshop attendees will receive a free native plant as a thank you for participating in the workshop! Workshop size is limited so sign up soon to secure your spot.
