Learn about sustainable landscaping techniques that will save you time and money while attracting birds and butterflies to your garden and protecting water resources.  A classroom session will be followed by a field trip to local private gardens; bus transportation will be provided.

Seasoned horticulture experts Linda Andrews, a professional landscape designer, and Erica Guttman of Washington State University Extension will lead the class. Topics include how to make a landscaping plan; design ideas for outdoor living spaces; managing drainage, slopes and other trouble spots; how to reduce unnecessary lawn; how to create habitat for birds and butterflies; and selecting water-wise plants for all four seasons.
The class is free, but advance registration is required as space is limited.  Register online.
