Partnering with the OSU/Lane Extension Farm and Garden Program and the Lane SBDC Agricultural Business Management Program.
Sustainable Landscaping Workshop Sustainable Landscape training provides the public with practical information to design sustainable/green/ecological landscapes. Participants will learn to utilize landscape practices that can be applied to their own yards, and will benefit by improving their soil biology and reducing erosion. They will save money by using fewer pesticides and less fertilizer, and improving the quality and quantity of groundwater. Overall expected outcomes include lowering power, water and waste bills due to more efficient use of resources, and reducing the flow of organic matter into the landfill.
Certification Topics:
Upon completion of the course, participants will complete a self-evaluation of their yards followed by an on-site evaluation within a few months to see what improvements have been implemented. With an evaluation score of over 40 points the participants will earn a placard to display in their yard showing that their yard has been certified by OSU Extension Service as a Sustainable Landscape.
