Join us for our ReScape interactive Certification workshop. GSI Plant Maintenance focuses on seasonal fall-winter plantings. This course is a 6-hour exploration of seasonal plant establishment and proper maintenance for Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI). ReScape’s 8 Principles for Regenerative Landscapes will reinforce a nature based, whole systems approach.
In this workshop, we’ll discuss critical GSI topics such as soil health and irrigation and GSI plant maintenance as it relates to proper identification and care. We’ll examine images of plants during different times of the year to identify what they should and should not look like. In a deep dive into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as it relates to current regulation and policy, we’ll cover ways to deal with those pests and weeds often found in GSI landscapes. Prior to our closing Q&A, we’ll talk about how to manage litter, trash, and vandalism in these areas.
This course perfectly complements our foundational Compost and Mulch Best Practices Workshop, occurring on March 31st and September 3rd, 2026.
*Selecting an option for a Certification with or without renewal is for ReScape Qualified Professionals (RQPs) only. RQPs are those who have completed one or more of our multi-day Qualification Trainings. Please reach out to ryne@rescapeca.org if you are not sure of your RQP status.
If you are not an RQP, you can still attend this Workshop. Simply selection the “Advanced Professional Workshop” option.
As a reminder, if you signed up to receive a ReScape Certification for this Workshop, please note that you will take a Certification Exam following the conclusion. Please reserve an additional 15-30 minutes to complete the Exam.
