Canby- The Canby Garden Club is going "native" in January to support local bees and butterflies.
Speaker Cindy Hines of Gladstone will share information on planting for pollinators by using plants native to our garden area.
Local gardeners are encouraged to join the free program Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 1 p.m. at the Canby Public Library, 220 NE 2nd Street in Canby.
Hines is a community education instructor, a naturalist gardener, and a partner in Pond Hag Natives, a group that creates and restores native habitats and sells native plants at popup events. She recently helped acquire a grant from the Xerces Society to plant 102 new plants at the Gladstone Nature Park. Hines will share her favorite books on growing native plants and local seed sources. She added Doug Tallamy, author of Nature's Best Hope, is one of her favorite writers.
“Butterflies used to reproduce on the native plants that grew in our yards before the plants were bulldozed and replaced with lawn. To have butterflies in our future, we need to replace those lost host plants, no if’s, and’s or but’s. If we do not, butterfly populations will continue to decline with every new house that is built.”
― Douglas Tallamy
