Bluethumb Landscapers Home Workshop

To emphasize topics more relevant to home landscapers, the Columbia Water Communications Team partnered with Richland County Stormwater Management to host the Bluethumb Landscapers Workshop on April 6, 2024. The theme for the workshop was “Planting with Water in Mind,” and participants and presenters were enthusiastic about the information they learned and were eager for more workshops like this one.

Preparations are underway for the fall workshop, “Working with Your Water in Mind,” to be held October 26, 2024. Home landscapers can learn about container gardens, fall gardening, native plants, putting a garden to bed for the winter, maximizing water usage, and local programs that support our waterways.

The workshop is free to attend. Pre-registration is required as space is limited. For more, click here: https://tinyurl.com/2p8kkce6
