The Sustainable Living Center is bringing workshops back this summer! The Summer Sustainability Series will run from July 18th through August 18th. Join us to discover creative, sustainable practices to enrich your life.

Kate Frey is an artist and internationally renowned garden designer, specializing in sustainable, bio-diverse, ecological gardens and landscaping. She is author of the book The Bee-Friendly Garden. In Kate's words, “flower-filled gardens make us happy, support many species of bees, and much other biodiversity beneficial to our gardens and our lives. We all desire our gardens to be full of color and interest for many months of the year, yet what combinations of flowers appeal to bees and why? How can we put them together in compositions that work well with the parameters of our site, in combinations that suit us, and cater to bee’s needs? This talk will show you how to look at your garden with new eyes, and how to create beautiful and inspirational landscapes that will forever transform your relationship with your yard.”

All participants will receive a free milkweed plant for attending. Participants will also have the opportunity to purchase other pollinator friendly plants. The Sustainable Living Center is so grateful to have Kate share her expertise with our community through this workshop. They are introducing a pay-what-you-can model for workshop registration because they believe the cost of a workshop should not be an obstacle to discovery and learning. This workshop is open to the public. Registration is required. To register for this workshop, click here.
