Rockwork on a Cactus Mound

Sunday, March 9th, 8am – 4:30pm

*Please RSVP Below*

This project has a special history with our work and team. The host for this workshop frequents many of our events, and has been a host of previous workshops over the years. They have tons to teach as well as. They have been working hard on their land stewardship over the years, and have lots of examples of both active and passive water harvesting, as well as sustainable living in general. We will be covering rockwork during this workshop, essentially upgrading/armoring an existing landscape. I imagine we will naturally be planting and seeding things in this project (as we always do here). This workshop will be a special one, and I may bring some special surprises and giveaways for everyone who joins 😉
