This class is the first of three sessions on tomatoes. The first session focuses on variety selection and seed starting. Session 2 (3/29) will cover buying a good tomato start and what to do with it before the soil warms up. Session 3 (5/3) will cover planting out into the garden or container, supporting plants of various sizes, cultural practices (watering, fertilizing, pruning, etc.), and disease management.

East Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District will host a free Landscaping for Wildlife workshop at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 22, 2023. It will take place over Zoom. When it comes to attracting beneficial wildlife to an outdoor space, it’s all about food, water, and shelter. This workshop will provide a broad and brief overview of Naturescaping concepts, and then dive into simple and creative ideas for transforming any space into somewhere birds, butterflies, bugs and more will want to come flocking. From plant shapes, colors, and bloom times to water features and tiny homes for bugs, there will be many inventive ideas for attracting local wildlife. Advance registration is required.
