healthier, more beautiful, and safer for your family. The six topics will include; an
introduction to watersheds, creating backyard habitats with native plants, organic
gardening and lawn care, rain barrels, rain gardens and composting.

Thursdays 6:30-8:30 pm
New topic each week
Cost: $30 for entire Course

At each workshop, prizes will be raffled away that are tied to the day’s activities
and at the end of the series a final gift will be awarded to anyone who attends at
least five of the events. Snacks and light refreshments will be provided at each
workshop. Workshops will be held light rain or shine, and August 26th will be our
rain date if any cancellations are required.
