How to Naturalize your Yard

Many of us want less lawn or want to support pollinators but find the idea of getting started overwhelming. Join us for a fun, interactive workshop where we will show you 5 entry-level ways to naturalize your yard and increase the diversity of plant life so that your yard can help support wildlife and improve watershed health.

We’ll show you sample designs and guide you through critical steps in planning a garden project for your yard this spring!

Please bring a print out of your property (an aerial photo and/or snapshots) to use as a base for sketching during this event.

This workshop is presented by Reep Green Solutions as part of the Rain Smart Neighbourhoods program in partnership with the City of Kitchener.
