Species Spotlight and Native Plant Swap

With the growing season in full swing, Katie will share some of her favorite plant species for attracting hummingbirds as well as must-haves for the pollinator garden, flowers that produce seeds for birds, and other native garden all-stars. After the program, we’ll host a native plant swap. Bring a native plant from your own garden to trade with others who attend. Swapping plants is a great way to increase biodiversity in your yard in a low-cost way! Bringing a plant is not necessary to take one home!
