Learn how—and why—to garden in a water-wise way and provide habitat for pollinators and songbirds. Plant biologist and award-winning author Susan J. Tweit will explain how to grown a healthy and vibrant landscape that nurtures butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators, and songbirds. She’ll talk about weeds and weed control, native and regionally adapted plants, reducing chemical use and restoring and creating habitat. Followed by a short “field trip” on the Salida Trail around Monarch Spur Park. Bring your garden questions and concerns, and leave inspired and ready to grow healthy habitat!
The presentation will be filmed for “Hometown Habitat”, a video project/TV show pilot. There will be a drawing for a Birdwatcher’s Habitat Hero pre-planned garden from High Country Gardens which includes 15 plants and is valued at $130. A few copies of the book Colorado Wildscapes will be given away and each attendee will receive a sample butterfly/hummingbird wildflower seed packet.
Cost: $5 for GARNA members for $8 for non-members.
Tickets will be available at the door (cash or check only please). Please enter through the main front door of the Salida High School.
