Workshops & Online Learning

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.

Fill out the form below to gain immediate access to our Resilient Yards Online Learning Series, FREE to all Minnesota residents. The series contains four courses: Resilient Yards, Turf Alternatives, and our new Seed Saving and Resilient Shorelines courses. If you’ve already signed up for the Online Learning Series, the new Seed Saving and Resilient Shorelines will automatically appear when you log in to your account.

All courses contain video lessons written and delivered by experts in the field and numerous do-it-yourself resources that will guide you through each step of your own planting project.
