This class installs pocket prairie plants in in-ground beds at the Bike Library using shorter, well-behaved native varieties that play nicely in town.

What you’ll learn:
* Easy site preparation techniques without backbreaking labor
* Top native prairie plants that are in-town friendly
* How to place plants for beauty now and ease later
* Planting steps that improve survival rates
