Dear Gardening Enthusiast,
As much as we love our summers, fall is right around the
corner! To get ready for fall gardening, I would like to invite you to the City
of Renton’s upcoming natural yard care classes. Our free classes with regional experts
are designed to help you achieve a beautiful and functional outdoor space that
is easy to maintain while saving money and creating a safe environment for
people, pets and wildlife.
New this year, we have a class scheduled at the Renton
Farmers Market (8/25) and a kids class (ages 6-11) at the same time as an adult
class (10/10) to make it easy for parents with children to attend. Also, we
have Spanish classes for Spanish-speakers and of course, chances to win prizes
at every class!

UNTHIRSTY LANDSCAPE

will be. Online registration is recommended for all classes and required for
the kids class. Visit http://rentonwa.gov/nyc
for more information and to register. For questions, please email jkim@rentonwa.gov or call 425-430-7391. I
look forward to seeing you in class!
