Transforming Your Garden to Support Nature

April 16 | 7pm | Registration Required

Many people find pollinator gardening daunting, but PollinateTBM is here to show you otherwise! Learn how to transform a typical urban garden into an oasis that attracts birds, butterflies, and other pollinators. Speaker Sandy McMaster will share her front yard journey from lawn to native habitat that includes perennial wildflowers, shrubs, and trees and provide recommendations for what plants to use. 

PollinateTBM will be providing an opportunity to order local native plants at this session. Learn more about their mission on their website.
