Join us at our new program, Grow with GSLBF and attend a landscaping for birds workshop led by Sheriden Hansen.
Learn to adapt the landscape to attract and support wild birds in your own yard. This course will cover plants suitable to the climate of the Intermountain West and selections known for attracting local birds as well as pollinators. Learn the techniques for success, such as plant placement and seasonal maintenance. The course will also cover techniques beyond planting such as supplemental food and water placement to support bird populations.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on planting of a new bird-friendly garden at the Eccles Wildlife Education Center and will take home three perennials to place in their own gardens.
*Participants should bring gloves (if desired) and a small garden trowel.
