Learn how to use less fertilizer, less water and do less work by “Gardening with Nature in Mind” from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 15, at the Chelan County PUD Auditorium, 327 N. Wenatchee Ave., Wenatchee.

Bonnie Orr, well-known local gardener and “The Dirt Diva” radio personality, and Ted Alway, owner of Derby Canyon Natives nursery in Peshastin, will lead the free workshop, sponsored by the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust.

Learn how to create a landscape that is aesthetically pleasing, requires little maintenance, and is environmentally sound. By choosing the correct plants for our climate and planting in the right locations, your yard will blossom while benefiting birds, butterflies and the “good” insects.

Speaking of which, the Land Trust also is planning the workshop “In Celebration of Insects” on June 3. For more information on locations and to register, call the Land Trust at (509) 667-9708.
