Avoiding Invasives in the Garden (Clackamas Community College)
The Environmental Learning Center at Clackamas Community College is once again offering a free series of Zoom classes on wildlife-and-water-friendly gardens.
Back by popular demand, this series will provide tips on how to garden with less water, manage too much stormwater, and generally provide a healthier habitat for birds, pollinating insects, and more. Each week, a different expert presenter will share their experience, stories, and best practices. There will be plenty of time for discussion, so questions are encouraged.
