Expert speakers will present on topics such as:
Rain Gardens

And much more!
Classes will take place every Thursday in February from 6:00-9:00pm, and each class will be hosted at a different King County Library branch location. The exact branch for each training date is as follows: Feb. 2nd at Skyway Library, Feb. 9th at Renton Public Library, Feb. 17th at Renton Highlands Library, and Feb. 23rd at Foster Library. Field trip sessions will be held on two Saturdays (February 11th and 25th), plan on a full day!
