Begin at 9:00 with a guided exploration of a reimagined meadow at Magnuson Park in Seattle with Jonathan and Shannon, where a once-underused lawn has been transformed into a vibrant Salish Sea prairie. Learn how low-impact, cost-effective techniques can create bio diverse, resilient landscapes, and engage directly with the environment through hands-on activities like species identification and meadow exploration.

This will be an insider’s look with Lea at how over 160 native plant species are cultivated to support regional ecosystems. Explore seed saving, germination, and sustainable growing practices, and discover how biodiversity-driven approaches can shape the future of conservation.
