Description

Join us on February 18 to learn about sustainable landscape design and help install a native plant & pollinator, drought tolerant garden based on permaculture principles on Mare Island in Vallejo! This installation will be in partnership with the Vallejo People's Garden and Global Center for Success. This public, hands-on installation workshop series will create an environmentally resilient garden in Vallejo providing an opportunity to learn about rainwater capture, and how to plant and mulch for a water-wise, sustainable garden that builds healthy soil and provides habitat for native pollinators. This garden will be an example of an alternative to lawn that is beautiful, requires less water and creates a habitat for monarchs & other pollinators. Monarch Milkweed Project & Solano Resource Conservation District will be providing native plant & pollinator resources. Join us to be part of the story of this garden!
