Build a More Resilient Landscape from the Ground Up

Register for the workshop at Spokane Conservation District. Whether you’re caring for a backyard garden, a rural property, or a shared community space, permaculture offers practical strategies to create healthier, more self-sustaining ecosystems.

Join Mary Bishop for an engaging workshop exploring how permaculture principles can be applied to landscapes of all sizes. Learn how thoughtful design can help you grow healthy food, improve soil health, reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, support pollinators and wildlife, and increase resilience in a changing climate.

This workshop will also introduce fire-hardening strategies for residential landscapes and highlight local resources available to support your ongoing permaculture journey.
