Creating a Habitat Garden Weekday

Learn how to develop a residential landscape that supports insects, birds, and other wildlife while also meeting the needs of the human inhabitants. Participants will see native plants in a garden setting and learn strategies for creating their own sustainable and maintainable plantings. Identifying and encouraging native plants in your garden or natural areas not only benefits wildlife, it also connects your garden to the surrounding natural community.
