Event Details
Always wanted to string a vertical oyster garden and do good at the same time?
Join Friends of Manatee Lagoon for a FREE Vertical Oyster Garden Stringing Workshop in partnership with Palm Beach County Fishing Foundation’s Tom Twyford on Thursday, August 6 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.!
Attendees will get their hands dirty and learn how oysters help clean local waterways and support marine life, while building a garden for the PBCFF to use to restore declining oyster populations, improve water quality, and create habitats throughout our county.
During this interactive workshop, participants will:
– Discover how oysters improve water quality and strengthen coastal ecosystems
– Learn about the importance of oyster reef restoration
– Assemble a vertical oyster garden using recycled oyster shells
Vertical oyster gardens provide essential habitats for marine life while helping filter and improve the health of local waters as each oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day!
No experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. Ages 21+. This is an outdoor event limited to the first 25 registrants.
