OUR NEXT MEETING - october 26, 2018

Please join us on October 26 when our speaker will be Becca Robinson from REEP Green Solutions.

During her tenure with Reep Green Solutions, Becca has helped over 100 property owners in Kitchener make landscape changes that are more resilient to climate change.  She has led the design and construction of multiple green infrastructure projects on both residential and civic properties, as well as taught a series of workshops that help property owners develop their own sustainable landscape plans. Becca received her Masters in Landscape Architecture from University of Michigan and has practiced in Detroit, Michigan and Edinburgh, Scotland prior to landing in Kitchener. 

As part of the RAIN Smart Neighbourhoods Project homeowners have received the support of a ‘coach’ to achieve goals for their outdoor space while managing stormwater to benefit the natural surroundings. Be inspired by some of the dramatic before, during and after photos from gardeners who have endeavored to install rain gardens and other rain smart landscape features that create beautiful and natural spaces for people and wildlife.

Theme: Halloween - Please wear your favourite Halloween costume.
