Beautify your landscape while planting for clean water and pollinator habitat.
Resilient Yards workshops give participants the skills to create their own raingardens, native plantings, pollinator habitat, and more. Use our free online learning series, register for a live virtual workshop, or do both!
While registering for the Resilient Yards Online Learning Series or a live workshop, you can choose to automatically enter our Lawns to Legumes lottery to receive a $400 cost share grant for creating pollinator habitat in your yard. Your yard can bee the change.
