Gardening for Birds, Bees & Butterflies

Gardens with habitat and food sources for birds, bees, and butterflies provide many benefits to both the gardener and the neighbourhood. These small creatures animate the garden and create endless entertainment. They also supply ecological services, such as increased yields of vegetable and fruit crops, and passive pest control. It’s easier than you think to create a habit-friendly garden, and this presentation will provide many ideas that you can implement in your own little paradise.

Wednesday, April 30 from 6:30-7:30 PM.

Registration: Public $20, TBG Members $15 (plus applicable taxes and fees)
