Native Garden Maintenance – Lynnhurst Neighborhood, City of Minneapolis

Learn how to care for your native plantings and rain gardens! Join us on Monday, June 8th from 6:00-7:30 pm for an in-person Native Garden Maintenance Workshop in the Lynnhurst neighborhood.

This hands-on workshop led by Jen Ehlert of Metro Blooms Design+Build will cover practices for keeping your native plantings thriving, and your native rain gardens functioning their best. Get guidance for identifying native plants, managing weeds, timing for garden maintenance activities throughout the year, assessing rain garden functionality and more.

This workshop is hosted by the City of Minneapolis and the Lynnhurst Neighborhood. Our registration fee is based on a pay-what-you-can model. A suggested registration fee of $15 continues to support our programming, while an amount over $15 supports workshop participants who are unable to afford the fee at this time. 

Access Information:

• This workshop will be hosted in-person, outside in a residential yard with native plantings and rain gardens. We will spend time standing, walking, and practicing hands-on maintenance in the garden.
