Growing Wildlife-Friendly Gardens with Mass Audubon

May 13 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

At this workshop, discover native and pollinator-friendly flowers, shrubs, and trees that grow well in the Berkshires and provide essential food and shelter for native insects and birds. Learn why sustainable landscaping can help wildlife in the Berkshires, then hear ideas, design tips, and lists of garden-worthy natives that can help you choose plants well-suited to your site.

This program is primarily indoors, but may have a short outdoor component at the end to explore plants on-site. Please be mindful of the weather and dress accordingly.
