Earth Week 2018 Inspires Residents to Plant Trees and Establish Backyard Wildlife Habitats to Address Climate Change
April 14, Saturday
10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Native plants in a changing climate. Natural Yard Care. Incorporating Drought Tolerant Plants in Your Garden and Landscaping.
Native plants are beautiful, foster wildlife, attract local pollinators, and are easy to maintain because they are adapted to our climate. However, as our summers grow longer, our days warmer, and as winter showers become more intense, our native plants need some extra TLC. Join us as we discuss how to select hardy native plants for your yard, as well as gardening practices to help our natives thrive.
This event takes place in the Burien Community Center, Shorewood Room. 14700 6th Ave SW, Burien, WA 98166
