Description
Join us for a lesson on native plant identification at our headquarters, where our water harvesting and nursery got their start! We’ll be identifying different perennial woody plants, wildflower seedlings, and native grasses. We will be taking questions, and learning from each other along the way. This fun and interactive class will come with a 30 minute introduction in which everyone will receive a plant list. We will do a circle through the neighborhood to test our skills we learn, do a little light weeding to put our new knowledge into practice, and end with some socialization. At the end of the workshop, there will be a free raffle of 3 five-gallon Ocotillos!
