Join Columbia Slough Watershed Council for the monthly Slough Science event series! This month we are excited to partner with East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District for a workshop on edible landscaping. Presenter Lydia Cox will give you insight and tools for incorporating edible plants into your landscape. From annual veggies and herbs to perennial berries and fruit trees, we’ll discuss design tips, ways to build fertile soil, and how to conserve water while producing a harvest. You will also learn about native plants that feature edible fruit and nuts, and how to invite beneficial insects to your garden. You’ll walk away ready to assess your site and make a plan for a beautiful (and delicious) landscape!
