| Date | 04/03/10 |
| Time | 10am to 2pm |
| Location | Pocket Park, Corner of LaSalle & Loretta Aves Cotati, CA |
| Description | In this incredible hands-on workshop, we値l kick off the gardening season and our Cotati Water Conservation Education Series by completing the lawn transformation Daily Acts started in 2009. Patrick Picard, award-winning ecological landscape designer, will revisit the permaculture principles incorporated in this 5,000 square foot neighborhood park. We値l cover topics such as fruit tree guilds, insectory and habitat-producing plants, sheet-mulching, soil-building, and earthwork techniques.
Then, we値l get our hands dirty planting native plants and grasses. We値l learn about, Carex pansa, a drought-tolerant sedge grass that can be planted as an alternative to turf, and plant a model native grass lawn at the site. We'll talk about how to create water-harvesting bioswales, and how to utilize these landscaping strategies without breaking the bank! We値l talk about Cotati痴 Cash for Grass program, and show how the model garden we are creating at Pocket Park ties in with this larger city effort to save water and build resilient and rich community landscapes! Free for Cotati Residents, non-residents $10-$20 sliding scale To join this workshop, please register by emailing or calling the contacts below. |
