Leave the leaves and save the bees!
Fallen leaves, decaying logs, and gone-by flowers are more than just "mess"— these leftovers nurture wildlife like birds, pollinators, fireflies and turtles. But how can we balance the ecological benefits with the practical and aesthetic concerns of maintaining our spaces?
Join Kathy Connolly, landscape designer and expert in earth-friendly design, for a workshop on creating sustainable, beautiful landscapes that support local wildlife.
What you'll learn:
● Why autumn “mess” is important for wildlife
● Simple, low-maintenance landscaping tips
● How to integrate beauty and nature-friendly design
Space is limited to the first 30 registered.
