This public, hands-on installation workshop will create an environmentally resilient garden. It will be an opportunity to learn about rainwater capture through in-ground swales, water-efficient drip irrigation and how to plant and mulch for a waterwise, sustainable garden that builds healthy soil.

Participants will:

1) Dig swales

2) Distribute mulch and topsoil

3) Share lunch and learn about small-scale solutions for community resilience that you can bring to your own home

 

Some tips for the day:
*Wear closed-toe shoes, sun protection, bring gloves and a refillable water bottle
* Light lunch will be provided
*Bring your own lunch if you have specific dietary needs
