Workshop with Sarah F. Jayne

$20 Click for Tickets

Now more than ever our yards and community spaces need to support biodiversity. How can we ensure that our spaces are both ecologically rich and beautiful. We’ll look at which plants matter most when it comes to your local biodiversity: how to procure them for generous plantings; and how to place them to increase their appeal to wildlife and people, along with strategies to protect wildlife our natural plantings attract. We’ll consider strategies to ensure that our landscapes gain community acceptance such that they become invitations for others to transform their landscapes. This cost-conscious. DIY approach makes taking actions doable. Ideal audience: People who are starting to transition their spaces to more wildlife-friendly habits and who are interested in supporting biodiversity within an HOA or traditionally landscaped neighborhood.
