Host a Workshop

A naturescaping workshop is a great way to get your neighbors involved in a community beautification project or assist a nearby school to create an environmental learning lab.  Hosting a workshop helps create more community in your neighborhood and wildlife habitat that doesn’t stop at property lines.

By hosting a naturescaping workshop, you bring your friends, neighbors, and community the information they need to take action.

We (Naturescaping):

•    Handle workshop registration and confirmation.

•    Help spread the word by providing press releases to the Oregonian, other community news sources, flyers, and “friends of” groups.  We’ll also give you flyers to distribute in your neighborhood.

•    Provide free workbooks and native plants to attendees.

You, the host:

•    Locate and book workshop location at no cost to the Naturescaping program that will accommodate 18-40 people at tables.

•    Recruit two volunteers to assist with room set up, break down, and check-in.

•    Help identify at least one natural garden or community project near the workshop location for a field trip.

•    Distribute notices and flyers to local bird shops, garden centers, libraries, and community centers.

•    Promote the workshop in neighborhood association newsletters and meetings of local groups.

•    Provide light refreshments for workshop attendees.
