Gardening for Wildlife at Home
July 7, 2022 @ 6:30 pm
Pollinators and other wildlife face many challenges to their survival, and they need our help. The good news is that we can take simple steps to help them—right here, right now, right in our own gardens. In this presentation, the Post Oak Chapter, Native Plant Society of Texas, is privileged to have Lauren Simpson introduce our pollinators and share simple techniques for transforming our garden spaces into a beautiful, native-plant paradise – one that supports wildlife and pleases neighbors!
