Sustainable Garden Design on a Budget

 

 

Do you want to grow food, support pollinators, and have a lush garden, but don't know where to start? The prospect of starting a sustainable garden from a grass lawn can seem overwhelming and expensive, but it doesn't have to be! We will discuss methods for planning out your garden, systems you can use to get the most out of what you have already, and tips for how to save money along the way. Participants will get free pollinator garden seed starting kit, courtesy of the Yard in Every Yard project.
