The
Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (ANERR) will be hosting a bay
friendly landscaping workshop on Saturday, April 9th, 2016, from 12:00-3:30

a big impact on adjacent water bodies.
Learn how you can transform your yard into a luscious bay conscious
landscape. The class will also feature innovative Green Infrastructure
techniques such as rain gardens and bio-swales to filter storm water.
Following
the discussion participants will have the option, for a small fee, to assemble
their own rain barrel that they can take home.
The workshop will be held at the Apalachicola National Estuarine
Research Reserve. The class is free, but rain barrels are $20.00 per barrel.
