Free Ecological Yard Care Workshop

Ever considered the ecological impact of your yard?  The choices you make in your yard are far more than aesthetic: they affect the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the health of your family and our ecosystem. To help you make your yard as environmentally-friendly as possible, this Arbor Day the Northfield Environmental Quality Commission will present a free workshop on eco-savvy landscaping. This information-packed workshop will cover “green” lawn care, native plants, trees, and fruit and vegetable gardening.  We’ll end with an informal seed swap (bring any extras you’d like to give away) and time for you to talk to college student farmers interested in helping you get started on your yard projects!

Presented by the Northfield Environmental Quality Commission in partnership with Just Food Co-op

When: April 25, 11am-12:30 p.m., No Charge
Location: In the Just Food Event Space, 516 Water St. S.
