Learn how to design unique plant palettes and maintenance schedules for your garden that provide support for our local wildlife. As we work to preserve and protect our local biodiversity, home gardens and urban landscapes are often underutilized spaces that can be turned into corridors that provide for the little creatures we so admire and depend on.
Students will come away with best practices and insights into observing your own local wildlife and easy steps to provide for them.
Meets on June 17. $30 members, $35 non-members. Advance registration required, register here.
