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!
