Learn How to Create a Weather-Resilient Yard
Edina, Minn., March 21, 2018 – Register now for a spring workshop on how to create a weather-resilient
yard.
Unseasonably warm weather, long droughts and flooding rains are the new normal for spring and summer in
Minnesota. Metro Blooms is hosting several workshops during which you can learn how your yard can adapt
to and even help mitigate threats posed by extreme weather.
Those who attend will receive information about installation cost-share programs and Blue Thumb resources
to help get a project in the ground.
The ‘Alternative Turf’ workshop is 6:30 -8:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 17. The ‘Creating Resilient Yards’ workshop
is 6-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 24.. Both Edina workshops are at the Public Works & Park Maintenance Facility,
