Calling all neighbors! Birds and other wildlife face many challenges to their survival, and they need our help. The good news is that we can take simple steps to help them―right here, right now, right in our own gardens. In her indoor workshop, Lauren Simpson explains how growing native plants at home supports all wildlife—including birds and the insects they need to survive—and showcases some of our easy growing native plants. Her outdoor field trip showcases these plants and more, as well as gardening techniques that sustain wildlife while pleasing neighbors. Ms. Simpson will also bring free native-plant seeds, harvested from her own gardens, to share with attendees.
For the field trip, we will be meeting in a local Galveston garden. Driving directions will be emailed prior to the festival.
Bring: water, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Wear closed-toed walking shoes.
