Come see what changes you can make to your landscape, including replacing certain plants with more beneficial ones, to create habitat for these important garden friends. Spoiler alert: we’re not talking about putting out seed!

Registration is required https://www.resroots.org/all-workshops/p/landscaping-for-the-birds . Standard cost is $30, with a sliding-scale fee available.
