Explore the ways you can enhance your own backyard for birds, butterflies, native pollinators, and other wildlife by planting native plants.

Naturalist Gary Siegrist will discuss how to choose native plants, how and where to plant them, where to buy them, and beautiful native alternatives to non-native invasive plants.

Information for planting larger areas will also be available.

Cost: $2/person or $5/family.
