Beautify your landscape while planting for clean water and pollinator habitat. Registration for Blue Thumb spring workshops is open! Blue Thumb workshops are an opportunity for you to learn how to plant for pollinators and clean water, even if you’re a first-time gardener.
Blue Thumb workshops walk through the steps to create rain gardens, native plantings, pollinator habitat and more. Use their free online learning series, register for a live virtual or in-person workshop, or do both! Your yard can be the change.
All registrants who sign up for a free online learning series or live workshop will be entered to receive a $400 Lawns to Legumes grant, supported by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources.
Their workshops this year include Resilient Shorelines, Resilient Yards/Pollinator Plantings and Turf Alternatives. These workshops share actions home gardeners can take to protect clean water, create pollinator habitat, and mitigate the impact of extreme heat and flooding rains.
In-person and virtual workshops are $15, some workshops offer a sliding scale option. The online learning series is free to everyone!
A couple online workshops this year include: Resilient Yards on Tuesday April 2, 6-7:30 p.m. and Tuesday, April 23, 6 p.m.
