Bringing Nature Home: Gardening is for Birds (Postponed)

This year, Friends of Lower Lake and Doan Brook Watershed Partnership will once again host a series of talks on native plants and sustainable gardening leading up to Ohio’s first ever Native Plant Month in April.

The Bringing Nature Home speaker series will journey from the tree canopy to the shrub layer to the ground layer for a holistic look at what makes up a healthy habitat in our public and private green spaces. Our tagline, “It’s About Time,” reflects the urgency of restoring our urban habitat to a healthy one as well as how the sequence of plant life supports insects and birds throughout the growing season

Gardening is for the Birds – Presented by John Barber of Friends of Lower Lake

Ecological gardening’s basic tenet is that plants, insects and birds that co-evolved are mutually beneficial. Come hear what native species to plant in your NE Ohio yard to feed both migrating and resident birds for all seasons—beyond birdseed.
