Hosted by King County Wastewater Treatment Division and Snohomish Conservation District, this class is part of the 2022 Sustainable Yard Care series and was recorded on Jan. 15.
Did you know you can plant a landscape that has visual interest year-round, provides a home for wildlife, AND reduces water, fertilizer and pesticide use? This class will provide information on choosing the best native plants for your needs, and also techniques for planting, composting, and mulching that will help your landscape thrive.
