Opportunity Details

Workshop description:

Learn how to develop a wildlife-friendly garden by incorporating native plants and other pollinator-friendly flora. We will meet at the pollinator gardens at the Oregon Food Bank where you will discover easy ways to include wildlife shelter, protection, nesting areas, food and water sources in a garden plan.

What to expect and bring:

This workshop is outdoors.

Please bring:

Your enthusiasm for learning and a notebook and pen/pencil for taking notes.
Bring water
Layered clothing (dress for outside weather conditions).
Since this is a hands-on workshop and physical distancing is not possible, masks are required for attendees and presenters.
Bring loupe if you have it

Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to park and sign in, so that we can get started on time.

Enter at the gravel drive along the white wooden fence on NE 33rd Drive (do not enter the paved parking lot for the Food Bank building.) There is ample parking in the gravel lot by the gardens.

Access to site is via Metro Buses #17 and #70.

Feel free to offer your support to help the instructor(s) with logistical details and set-up and break-down.

The Pollinator Garden is within 50 feet of the gravel parking area. No ADA accessible paths. Walking during the workshop will be not more than a block or two. The property is basically flat but somewhat uneven and may be muddy in spots.

Participants generally stand and move through the garden. There is limited seating (5 gallon buckets, and a picnic table nearby) if needed.

Port-a-Potty available, not ADA accessible.

Instructor:

Corinne Thomas-Kersting, Eddie Rosen and Cheryl Brock, OSU Extension Master Gardeners

We look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely,

The Master Gardener program and instructor team
