Program:“Why and How to Garden for Wildlife in Your Own Backyard”
The average neighborhood yard may look pretty, but doesn’t support the wide range of wildlife that is crucial to a healthy environment and community. The good news is that yards can be both beautiful and beneficial by incorporating the native plants that support our local wildlife! In this presentation, Ms. Lauren Simpson will share handy tips on how to create a wildlife garden at your own home, for the enjoyment of your family and the benefit of your community. As an added feature, Ms. Simpson will bring native plant seeds from her home wildlife-habitat gardens to share with attendees. Come join us to learn how to transform your own yard into a beautiful, pollinator paradise!
