Want to do your part for the planet and transform your yard into a haven for wildlife? Join us to learn more about gardening with native plants and do-it-yourself features to provide shelter, water and nesting places for birds and other wildlife. This outdoor, hands-on program is designed for both newbie and experienced gardeners and includes ~10 native plant starts to take home to get you started! Completion of this program gains Environmental Education certification credit in Criteria II or III.
The workshop will take place in three parts with the first two being optional.
