What to Expect

• Kick the mulch habit and learn how to integrate native groundcovers (“green” or “living” mulch) into your garden.
• Practice a scaled design in the workshop.
• Receive a take-home ecological gardening “recipe” that makes a native garden swoony to the eye and more easeful to steward.
• Learn how to transform a weedy mess into a legible garden for the benefits of wildlife and watersheds by mimicking natural landscapes.
