In this on-site workshop, be hands-on in developing the skills for 4 ecological gardening practices that are ideal in the winter, including seeding native mini-meadows and invasive species management. Please dress warmly for the outdoors and BYO sturdy shoes, pruners, and water bottle.Rain date: Jan. 30, 9:30 AM–12:00 noon____________________________Elyse Jurgen, owner of <a href="https://www.waxwingecoworks.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Waxwing EcoWorks Co</a>, is a community collaborator working to rebuild ecological literacy and biodiversity through hands-on ecological gardening experiences in South Central PA.She is certified as a Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professional and Ecological/Permaculture Designer, along with earning an Ecological Gardening Certification from Mt.
