River Star Homes Landscape Design Master Class

June 26 2025

9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Elizabeth River Project - Ryan Resilience Lab 4610 Colley Ave, Norfolk, VA 23508, USA pmurrell@elizabethriver.org

Saturday, July 26 OR August 9, 9am-2pm

Join Wild Works of Whimsy and Southern Branch Nursery owner Trista Imrich to design your DIY River Star Homes conservation landscaping or shoreline buffer project. River Star Home participants will learn the art of native plant design and come away with a shovel-ready project for their property.

$250 per person, participants must have attended the March 8th workshop | Limited to 15 attendees each session | Lunch will be provided.

If you install your DIY project this fall, the fee you paid for the master class will be applied toward the cost share of your River Star Home project. Currently, this funding assistance is only available in Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach because these municipalities have provided financial support for the program within the Elizabeth River Project watershed. We apologize for any inconvenience.

To check if your DIY project qualifies or to ask questions before registering, contact River Star Homes Program Manager Phoebe Murrell at pmurrell@elizabethriver.org.
