York County Soil and Water Conservation District, the City of Saco, and the Biddeford-Saco Country Club are hosting a native plant workshop at the Country Club, 101 Old Orchard Road, Saco, from  8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 2.

Participants will learn about the value of adding native plants to shoreline buffers, various native plant species, and ongoing restoration efforts in the Goosefare Brook Watershed.
