Native Plants for Bird Habitat

Tuesday, May 17, 2022, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Attracting Birds to Your Garden

Birds add color, movement and essential insect control to our gardens. This class will help you learn to create a habitat to attract and support more birds in your garden. Topics covered will include providing food, shelter and water for birds, designing your garden using layers for ideal bird habitat, and native plants that provide seasonally appropriate foods for birds.
