Stewarding the Land Through Sustainable Gardening
Registration required, follow the link below to join.
This program is part of the Sustainable Living and Farming Tour in partnership with the Waste Loop which aims to educate, inspire & motivate action within the community to work towards a more sustainable future in which we are more connected with the natural world around us.
Come along on a tour of the many gardens on the stewarded land of Wenatchee River Institute. We'll start in the E. Lorene Young Community Garden to learn about how a donated plot of land can turn into a bounty of food for a community. Next, we'll walk the 13-acres that WRI uses for environmental education. Learn about noxious weeds, the benefits of native plants for humans and animals, and how to create a biodiverse native plant Heritage Garden at your own home. Participants will get a noxious weed ID booklet, a list of beautiful, pollinator attracting native plants for the home garden, and a pack of native wildflower seeds to jumpstart your own Heritage Garden.
