WSU Extension’s GARDENING GREEN: Sustainable Landscaping Class

8 class sessions: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-1pm, Sept 17-Oct 10

GARDENING GREEN provides practical information and simple yet powerful actions to create a landscape that is an environmental asset. Learn to garden using a naturally sustainable approach that will protect both environmental and human health while it saves you time and money. With only 5% of the land in continental US still in its natural condition, our home landscapes offer an opportunity to provide habitat for birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects. You will learn how to build healthy soil, select the right plants for your garden including native plants, create wildlife habitat, rainwater harvesting, Integrated Pest Management and strategies to reduce maintenance. Presentations by local experts, 9 residential landscape tours, hands-on experience doing site analysis, landscape plans, and installing cisterns & rain barrels, opportunities to purchase plants at wholesale prices, and more.
