There is no way around it — our gardens are impacted by extreme and fluctuating weather conditions. However, they can be resilient! In this eight-week class series, you will learn how to strengthen your garden’s ability to combat climate-change while maintaining that curb appeal. Classes will be taught by practicing landscape professionals and educators who utilize environmentally-friendly practices. You’ll learn how to help your trees and plants thrive and your garden stay beautiful, all while easily maintaining it. Whether large or small, starting a new garden, or making changes to your existing one, you’ll be equipped with the know-how to apply these practices to your garden.
