Resilient Yards workshops for fall

Metro Blooms is offering a Blue Thumb Lawns to Legumes workshops as a webinar, to learn strategies for mitigating the effects of climate change in your outdoors, and to help protect pollinators, clean water, and the local ecosystem.

The Resilient Yards workshop presents strategies for site planning, native plantings, stormwater management practices including raingardens and pollinator habitat, among other things. Participants also meet one-on-one with landscape designers and master gardeners. The Turf Alternatives workshop provides other options to conventional turf lawns, among them lawns that require less water and fewer inputs, and that better support pollinators.

Webinars cost $15 unless otherwise noted. Scholarships are available. Info: https://bluethumb.org/events/, or call 651-699-2426.
