Event Details

Join us for a walk and talk in our demonstration garden to learn about beautiful plants to bring butterflies and songbirds to your yard!

*SIGN UPS DOWN BELOW*

We will cover:

• Our favorite “living bird feeder” plants. No need to buy bags of seed!
• Our favorite flowering shrubs and perennials to provide nectar for butterflies
• Our favorite native plants to provide for the food needs of caterpillars to support the full life cycle of a diversity of butterflies.
• Additional easy and low-or-no-cost landscape features including DIY bird baths to help you amplify your space’s habitat value for a wide range of bird and butterfly species.

Each participant will be able to select a native wildflower seed packet of their choice to take home.

After the workshop concludes, for those who wish to stay, we will be offering a raffle give-away of some of our favorite waterwise California native plants. We will also tell you a bit about each one, why it is one of our favorites, and the garden situations in which it is likely thrive.

Our instructor for this workshop will be Scott Kleinrock, Conservation Programs Manager here at Chino Basin Water Conservation District and the Waterwise Community Center.
