resilience — all while growing a bountiful edible garden. Gardener, educator and small-scale
farmer Marni Sorin will discuss techniques for supporting soil health, strategies and tools to
adapt to changing weather patterns, and ways that gardens can help mitigate the effects of
climate change.Jan 24?: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PMRooted in Research: How Urban Forests Sustain UsHost: Kathleen WolfInfo: Gardeners and naturalists intuitively know that time in nature is good for people.
Research of recent decades confirms those hunches, and also expands the depth and

nature can be designed to boost community and individual resilience of mind and body. Jan 31?: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PMDesigning for Drought: Waterwise Design with Native PlantsHost: Lisa TaylorInfo: No matter where you live in Washington, water conservation is an issue. Educator,
consultant, and author Lisa Taylor will share how landscaping with native plants, rain gardens
and cisterns help conserve and filter water and provide habitat for pollinators. She will show how small changes — for example, creating contours and rain gardens, and adding cisterns and rain barrels — can lead to big improvements in water quality and retention. No matter where you live in Washington, water conservation is an issue. Feb 7?: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PMBackyard Sanctuaries: Gardening for Birds and BiodiversityHost: Steve HamptonInfo: When it comes to supporting wildlife habitat in the places we live, there are both
