About this Event

🌿 Wild in the Garden

What if your garden could become a haven for butterflies, birds, bees, and other beneficial wildlife?

Join Broward County UF/IFAS Extension Master Gardener Volunteers to discover how even small gardening choices can make a big impact on local ecosystems. Learn how native plants provide essential food and shelter for wildlife while creating beautiful, resilient landscapes that require less water and fewer pesticides.

Whether you have a large backyard, a small patio, or even a condo balcony, you'll discover simple ways to create a thriving wildlife-friendly garden.

During this workshop, you'll learn how to:

🌿 Select native plants that support birds, butterflies, and pollinators
🦋 Create habitat that benefits local wildlife and biodiversity
💧 Reduce water use through smart plant selection
🌎 Minimize pesticide and herbicide use by gardening with nature
🏡 Transform any outdoor space—even a balcony—into valuable wildlife habitat

Together, we'll explore how healthy gardens support healthy ecosystems—and how helping wildlife ultimately helps people thrive.

This workshop is perfect for gardeners of all experience levels who want to make a positive impact on their community and the environment.
