Caring for your Native Garden – Rice Creek Watershed District

Join us on October 8th from 5:30-7:00pm to learn how to care for native plants in a rain garden! We will meet in person for this workshop at Christ the King Lutheran Church.

This hands-on workshop led by Metro Blooms landcare experts will cover practices for keeping native gardens thriving. Together, we’ll talk about identifying native plants, managing weeds, maintenance tasks for different times of year, and more. We’ll also jump into the garden to practice all of these things together! Bring your questions or share with us ahead of time via email if there is a specific topic you are interested in hearing about.

This workshop is hosted by the Rice Creek Watershed District. Registration fees for residents of Rice Creek Watershed District will be waived. Find out if you are in the Rice Creek Watershed District here!
