Details

The City of Rochester is hosting online workshops for residents and land managers about creating pollinator habitat and water stewardship gardens. Historically, these workshops have had a waiting list due to limited physical space, but with the shift to online workshops, you can attend right from home!

A two-hour workshop offering a framework for understanding and creating resilience, covering site planning, rain gardens, turf alternatives, trees, other plantings, pollinator habitat, and more. Includes information about Lawns to Legumes, a new state program offering grants and other support to help Minnesota residents create habitat for the endangered rusty patched bumblebee and other at-risk pollinators. The presentation is followed by a short discussion/Q&A about common challenges and solutions.
