If you want to get serious about building a backyard wildlife garden, but don’t know where to start – we’ve got you covered! Join us for this inaugural series of classes that will take you step-by-step through the process of planning, planting, and maintaining a backyard wildlife habitat that meets National Wildlife Federation certification standards. We’ll meet once per month to learn the different aspects of a good wildlife garden, including personalized tips for your unique space.
