About this event
Join us on October 8th from 5:30-7:00pm to learn how to care for native plants in a rain garden! We will meet in person for this workshop at Christ the King Lutheran Church. This hands-on workshop led by Metro Blooms landcare experts will cover practices for keeping native gardens thriving. Together, we’ll talk about identifying native plants, managing weeds, maintenance tasks for different times of year, and more. We’ll also jump into the garden to practice all of these things together! Bring your questions or share with us ahead of time via email if there is a specific topic you are interested in hearing about. This workshop is hosted by the Rice Creek Watershed District. Registration fees for residents of Rice Creek Watershed District will be waived. Find out if you are in the Rice Creek Watershed District here! Access information: This workshop will be hosted in-person, outside in the rain gardens at Christ the King Lutheran Church. We will spend time standing, walking, and practicing hands-on techniques in the garden. Gloves and hand tools will be provided; you are welcome to bring your own gardening tools, folding chairs, kneeling pads or anything else that will make you comfortable in the space. Light snack and water will be available. Plenty of parking is available in the church lot. A map will be included in your registration email showing where to meet. The nearest public transportation stop is at Silver Lake Rd & 7th St NW (about a quarter of a mile from the church). This stop is served by routes 25F and 25N.
