One spot is available for Saturday’s Pollinator Workshop

We have a spot open for the workshop due to a cancellation.  So, there is room for you!  Register below…

Sponsored by ReGreen Springfield, the Greening the Gateway Cities Program, the U.S. Forest Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, this four-hour workshop will introduce the basics of installing a pollinator garden in your own yard. Choosing a site for the garden, selecting the appropriate species and construction/planting techniques will be outlined in the workshop. Participants will receive printed resources that will help in the planning of their own garden. This workshop will be followed by the availability of online consultation by the instructors as you develop a plan for your garden. Funded in part by a grant from the New England Grassroots Foundation.

All attendees will receive a Free book on pollinator gardening, a workshop manual and a 2-gallon pollinator plant for your garden! In fact, the exact plants that will be given away can be seen in the photo above.

The workshop is limited to 15 participants, and is being delivered for FREE! Pre-registration is needed to attend this program. To register for the remaining spot, please visit https://forms.gle/6R1oSoe1V2hz9oZs7
