Gardening for Diversity - A Hands-On Workshop

The great outdoors begins in your own backyard. Our fourth program session will be held on Monday, July 12th at 6:00 p.m. at Narrows River Park. This session will cover basic maintenance including plant identification & weeding as we work to support our native planting at Narrows River Park. 

Gardening for Diversity is a 6 part programming series that will walk participants through creating your own diverse native gardens through a mix of classroom learning & hands-on gardening exercises. Each session will cover different aspects of native gardening, from planning to planting to maintaining, & is perfect for beginning gardeners & anyone who is looking for new ways incorporate native plantings in your own garden.

The series will kick off with two classroom sessions at Hitchcock Nature Center to give attendees a good foundation for planning their own diverse native gardening projects followed by 4 outdoor sessions at Narrows River Park where attendees will enjoy hands-on work as they plan, plant, & maintain a native garden with guidance from our staff. Attendees are not required to attend every program session but each programming session will build on the next & our recommendation is to attend as many as you are able to for the best experience.
