What happens next?
Our Bringing Nature Home Committee, made up of staff and volunteers, will review your application and sure that your garden meets the program criteria.
This year, instead of an in person visit, we will arrange a phone call to talk to you about your garden/landscape.
If desired, you may submit additional photos to Communications Coordinator Barb Labus at blabus@heinzetrust.org.
