Are you enjoying your yard as much as you’d like too? Create wildlife habitat, grow food for your family, and protect your local waterways while improving the appearance and functionality of your yard. This workshop will provide you with ways to reduce your lawn and associated maintenance by swapping it for pollinator gardens, edible landscapes, rain gardens, vegetative buffers, groundcovers, wildflower meadows, and other natural landscapes you can pick and choose from to make your yard work for you.

Bring a layout of your yard (copy of tax map, drawings, satellite image, pictures) to start designing your landscaping changes at the end of the workshop with free technical assistance from the instructor. Additional free site visits may be available to workshop participants.

Registration is free and through the Scarborough Public Library.
