Smart Yards Education brings people together to raise awareness of the financial, environmental and aesthetic benefits of ecological and climate appropriate landscaping. We conduct workshops for homeowners and landscapers to teach permaculture design principles and provide step-by-step hands-on instruction of sustainable landscaping skills. We work with relevant community partners to ensure that people from all socio-economic groups have access to the workshops.
