Love watching wildlife and want to attract more to your backyard? Whether you are a novice or an experienced gardener, this three-hour wildlife-gardening class is sure to inspire you to take your garden to the next level. Through a classroom presentation and outdoor habitat tour, Meredith O’Reilly will highlight some of the best native plants to attract birds, butterflies, and other beautiful fauna to your Central Texas garden throughout the seasons. Additionally, you will learn how to utilize color, height, a variety of materials, and other features to maximize the wildlife you can attract, all while benefiting the ecosystem as a whole. Of course, ecosystem gardening actually begins below ground – this class will take a closer look at the soil food web and important sustainable practices. Easy pond creation, neighbor-friendly tips, and fun garden project ideas will be included.
The class is limited to 25 participants. Tuition for the class is $15 for TA members and $20 for non-members.
