Sedona AZ (March 8, 2018) – Keep Sedona Beautiful (“KSB”) will hold its 39th Annual Native Plant Workshop on Saturday, April 7, 2018, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., at the West Sedona School, 570 Posse Ground Road.
The day will begin at 7:45 with attendees enjoying breakfast snacks, jockeying for the best seats in the auditorium and choosing which silent auction items on which they would like to bid. Vendors will have garden-related items for sale.
The program will be anchored by two principal topics. “Unleash Your Garden’s Wild Side: Garden Design Using Native Plants” will be presented by Hattie Braun, Master Gardener Program Coordinator at Coconino [County] Cooperative Extension. Hugh Denno will screen his 47-minute documentary “Viva la Verde,” exploring how unrestricted groundwater mining threatens the Verde River’s future, and what we can do about it.
Breakout sessions will cover planting to attract butterflies, planting to attract birds, xeriscaping, lichens, pest management and the always popular native plant walkabout.
Breakfast snacks and light lunch items are being donated by local businesses. The workshop will end shortly after two o’clock.
