Go beyond conventional bird feeders—use native plants to turn your backyard into a diverse, year-round avian habitat! Learn what the birds of New England actually need from us and become part of the new, natural approach to meeting their needs using planting aesthetics that embrace the ecological value of native species, variety, and untidiness. This Native Plant Trust program at Garden in the Woods on August 28 from 10:30 – 12:30 addresses fruit-bearing shrubs, pollinators, and birds’ feeding and nesting preferences. Led by Chris Leahy, the fee is $30 for NPT members, $36 for nonmembers. As with all classes scheduled during the pandemic, please confirm with NPT the week of the class, in the event the program is moved online.
