About this event

  • 1 hour

Topic: Planting on a Steep Bank or Slope: Fighting erosion on your property by planting on a steep bank first starts by choosing the right plants to do the job. A high diversity of native plants are the clear winners for this job due to their variety of root depths that have the ability to hold onto the soil and stop water from flowing too quickly. In addition to choosing the right plants, learn best practices on how to plant on a steep slope for maximum impact, along with other tips and tricks to manage erosion-prone areas.

Bio: Brannen Basham and Jill Jacobs are owners of Spriggly's Beescaping, a nature education and habitat restoration business with a special focus on native plants and native pollinators. On the habitat restoration side of their business, they offer in-person and online consultations for wildlife-focused sustainable landscaping, along with full-scale 2D and 3D design services.
