A free workshop for those who live along a stream, lake or Puget Sound is set for Thursday, February 26 from 6 to 9:15 p.m. at the Tumwater Fire Hall. Participants in the “Beyond Landscaping” workshop will learn landscaping ideas to enhance the beauty of their property while also protecting shorelines from erosion; how to get rid of weeds and replant with beneficial plants; tree-care tips to protect both trees and shoreline views; and how to make an affordable action plan for shoreline landscaping activities. Participants can also enroll in an optional follow-up class on March 14 to receive expert review of their own landscape plans and learn several specialized planting techniques in an outdoor classroom.
The class is sponsored by Stream Team and WSU Extension’s Native Plant Salvage Project. Advanced registration can be done online at streamteam.info or by contacting nativeplantsalvage@gmail.com or calling (360) 867-2167.
