A Workshop: Multi-Functional Hedgerows for Urban and Rural Settings Utilizing Native Plants
Hedgerows are vital habitat to many native species of plants and animals. They are rows of trees, shrubs, ground cover, vines & herbs that divide or border fields, waterways, and/or suburban lots. Planting hedgerows provides food and shelter for birds and mammals whose homes are fast disappearing in our climate of development of wild spaces. Learn how to plant for our wild friends while producing food, useful materials, and beauty for ourselves as well.
Morning: Lecture and discussion: Introduction, Design, Establishment, Maintenance. Afternoon: Implementation: Hands-on experience, plant selection, bed preparation, planting.
