YardScaping Demonstration Site Workshop: Vertical Gardens
Thursday, May 22nd
5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District | 35 Main Street, Windham, Maine
Are you interested in turning your front yard, back yard, or ANY yard into a safe and environmentally-friendly space for your family, friends, and pets? Join us for an informative workshop covering the benefits of implementing a vertical garden at your own home or workplace. A vertical garden is comprised of plants that naturally grow very tall, or that are supported by a vertical structure, such as a trellis or a lattice.
Vertical gardens provide a variety of benefits, including:
Building insulation
Reduction in noise pollution
Provides passive cooling
Increases food production capabilities
Space-saving gardening option
The instructor will also review the different types of vertical plants, situations in which they are beneficial, maintenance, and how to build supporting infrastructure.
This workshop will last two hours with the first half spent inside learning about how to successfully utilize these conservation techniques and the second half spent outside in our demonstration garden. Gardening tools and materials will be provided.
Bring your favorite pair of gardening gloves and prepare to get your hands dirty!
