ECOLOGICAL
LANDSCAPING 101

Learn how to create a thriving, resilient garden that works with nature rather than against it. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to design gardens that support pollinators, beneficial insects, birds, and soil life while still producing beautiful, abundant plantings. We’ll cover companion planting, habitat layering, soil stewardship, water-wise practices, and how to encourage natural balance so your garden becomes healthier and more self-sustaining over time. Ideal for gardeners of all experience levels. Participants will leave class with a ecological landscaping kit that will include seeds, soil amendments, a native pollinator plant, and immense knowledge to apply at home!
