Growing a Brighter Future
Environmental Concern has synthesized its over 30 years of wetland horticultural experience into a course for educators.

Educators leave the workshop with:

  • a firm understanding of wetland plant ecology
  • the ability to identify plant species in the field utilizing dichotomous keys
  • skills to collect, store, and clean seeds and how to transplant and divide plants
  • tips for weed & pest control, over wintering of plants, and correct planting techniques
  • designs and all materials needed to set up a waterbox with irrigation line to grow native wetland plants at their schools or nature centers
  • inspiration to construct schoolyard wetland habitats as permanent homes for the plants


Don't miss out. Offered only once a year in Maryland.
Stay tuned for 2010 dates...

 

 




“My hibiscus have already sprouted!
And the willow oak seeds sprouted in the bag, so I'm planting them today." Course Participant


“You will be happy to know that I have been using
what I learned immediately. I had to come back and
order wetland plants for a wetland enhancement of a
storm water basin. The formula is excellent. I also was
able to educate some of my grant applicants with the information you provided to us.“ Course Participant
