This year’s theme for the Garden Mill’s Green Thumb series is Turn Your Yard into Your Oasis.
Landscaping is for the Birds – March 25, 11 a.m.- noon
Master Gardener, horticulturist and birder Dan Sparks-Jackson will discuss plant selection for gardens designed to benefit local bird populations.
Using an ecological rationale, Sparks-Jackson will talk about plants with berries as one aspect of the food web and the importance of native foliage, which turns into critical bird baby food.
He will also provide information on birdseed choices, bird feeder placement, cover foliage and ways to provide fresh water for birds.
