Classes
We are charging a minimum $5 fee for all classes to discourage no-shows. To register and pay the fee you follow the registration link after the class description.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, our classes will be offered on-line using a cloud-based service, WebEx. You will be sent an email containing a link that will allow you to join the online class ten minutes before the session begins. To assure that the class is not interrupted with unwanted noise, we ask that you mute your microphone until you wish to ask a question or make a comment at the end of the class. Since this is the first time we are attempting to hold classes online, we ask for your understanding and goodwill as we undertake this adventure.
Permaculture and Community Gardens
Join Nathan Ayers, Permaculture Designer of Chiwara Permaculture, to learn about this movement which attempts to design gardens with the diversity, stability and resilience of naturally occurring ecosystems. Such gardens are not only productive, but sustainable, as people and their environment are integrated in a harmonious way.
Free, but donations are always appreciated.

Rain Gardens
You've vaguely heard that rain gardens are a good thing. You've also heard that you will get a break on your water bill if you installed a rain garden at your home. But what are they? how do they work? how should they be designed and where should I locate them? how do I even start? Susan Bryan, Rain Garden Coordinator of the Washtenaw County Water Resources Office, will cover these and other topics pertaining to rain gardens, so that you will feel confident about installing one yourself.
Free, but donations are appreciated.
Pre-registration is required.
