Join conservation horticulturist Heather Alley for a training workshop on the specialized native plant garden program known as Connect to Protect. In this class, participants will learn the Connect to Protect philosophy and master both the educational goals and the gardening for biodiversity methods of this program. Educational outcomes of this course will include choosing appropriate native plant species, essential maintenance and dynamic curricula to create gorgeous, biodiversity-supporting gardens. Learn the steps it takes to become a CtoP leader and an ambassador of gardening for wildlife. Class time will be spent both indoors and outside hiking in the garden. Dress for outdoor conditions and a walk around the garden.
