This two-part workshop will be held on May 8 and May 22 10:00-11:00 AM.
In this series we will gather and explore how native plants can play a role in tending to our nervous systems and well-being in an accessible way. We will discuss the different ways we can incorporate native plants to our landscaping, gardens and healing process.
