    Monthly Meeting

    Help reverse the decline in songbird populations by making your home’s landscape more environmentally friendly for pollinators.  Insects, especially caterpillars, are a critical food source for songbirds.  A few simple changes in our gardening practices can increase both bird and insect populations.  Leigh Surdukowski, Master Gardener, will give tips for creating a healthy landscape. Topics covered include: saving leaves, removing invasive species, shrinking lawns, planting keystone native plants, using groundcovers and adding water features.
