Do you realize that everything you do in your garden impacts our creeks and streams? In this class we’ll include a short lesson on how to become a Certified Tennessee Smart Yard – a yard and garden that achieves your goals while improving the land and water around you. Acting on the information taught in this class will get you one-fourth of the way towards your Certification! We count actions as inches; 36 inches qualify your yard for Smart Yard Certification.The actions in this class count towards 8 inches in the Tennessee Smart Yards program

Metro Water Services will be giving away a door prize of a 25# bag of Music City Gold, our slow-release, sustainable, fertilizer. You can see here how we produce the fertilizer.
