There will be registration available online, and patrons can also call the library to register (https://www.mcfarlandlibrary.org/calendar/month).

Native plants are the basis of sustainable, diverse, and beautiful gardens supporting pollinators, beneficial insects, and wildlife. These gardens thrive without fertilizers, pesticides, mowing, or supplemental watering. We will share garden examples, plant sources, and practical tips for garden care.
