SUMMARY:Plants for Birds: Create Your Own Bird Sanctuary Series
DESCRIPTION:Audubon Everglades will guide you through established native plant gardens to learn how to attract and support resident and migratory birds.\n\n\nJoin us as Audubon Everglades takes you on a five-week journey to selected sites with established native plant gardens\, demonstrates how best to attract and support resident and migratory birds\, and helps you visualize which plants would thrive in your own bird sanctuary.  \nEach week you will have the opportunity to ask questions of experts in the native plant field. So\, if you’re trying to decide which native plants to acquire\, or wondering if your plot of land or balcony is big enough\, or which native plants your HOA will most likely allow\, this five-week series will help provide answers.  \nTaking place on various Saturday mornings from January 4 – March 29\, 2025\, we will explore five diverse urban and suburban habitats that nourish birds\, butterflies\, and pollinators with their fruit\, nectar\, seeds and leaves\, and visit two native plant nurseries.
