Conservation Halton is inviting residents to learn about sustainable gardening at a full-day workshop in Burlington on May 24, 2026. The event, titled Design Your Native Landscape, will take place at the Aldershot Arena Community Room from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The workshop costs $50 per person and includes a catered lunch. It is part of the organization’s Healthy Neighboursheds program, an initiative designed to help homeowners manage rainwater, lower resource use, and support local wildlife and water quality through native landscaping.
Participants will learn practical skills for designing and maintaining low-impact garden projects. The curriculum covers how to assess local soil, sunlight, and water flow conditions to guide plant selection. Attendees will also receive information on creating rain gardens and installing permeable pavement.
The event features presentations from local ecologists, landscape designers, and homeowners who have successfully integrated native plants into their own properties. The day will conclude with small group discussions, allowing residents to get direct feedback on their specific landscaping plans from the experts.
This event follows a similar workshop held in 2024. Those interested in attending can register through the official Conservation Halton website.
