Keeping your garden really
"green."
Reining in the Rain
Bainbridge Island Watershed Council
See how this property creatively handles rainwater and
learn from Bainbridge Island Watershed Council, about
ways to handle all that runoff ecologically! The Bainbridge
Island Watershed Council features info on low impact
development methods like beautiful rain gardens and
bio-swales, which manage stormwater, keep pollutants
out of our waterways, and replenish aquifers by getting
rain water back into the ground where it belongs!

garden? We will have the answers for you. Bring along

Noxious Weeds - Taming the Monsters in Our
Beds

Baffled by broom? Bewildered by blackberries? With a
little diligence and a few good tools, you too can rid
your garden beds of these and other invasive green monsters.
The Bainbridge Island Weed Warriors, in conjunction
with the Kitsap County Noxious Weed Coordinator and
Weed Advisory Board, will answer your thorny questions,
provide informative handouts on all kinds of rampant
intruders, and demonstrate how the students, parents
and staff at Voyager Montessori rid a large area of
the broom and blackberries that once thrived on the
school grounds.
Adventures in Garden Fertility
Nick Penovich, Lawn Jockey
Nick will be discussing organic and sustainable tips,
tricks and practices in the landscape. Whether you are
starting from scratch, or have an existing landscape,
implementing a natural, sustainable fertility and biofertility
program will help get your soil back in balance.
Child Friendly Natural Garden Care
Natural Landscapes Project
Voyager School Staff and Junior Docents
Gardening is a real pleasure, but even more so when
we are sure that the products we use are not harmful
to our families. How do we know which products are relatively
safe? Natural Landscapes Project staff will help you
learn about a variety of “natural” garden
care products, such as neem oil, horticultural vinegar,
sticky traps and many more.
