Jones Library Webinar: March 4 @ 7 p.m.
As we begin to think about planning our gardens this year, it’s a good time to consider the benefits of adding plants that attract birds, butterflies, and bees. Learn how to do just that by joining Jones Library for a webinar, Attracting Birds, Butterflies, Bees, and Other Beneficials, via Zoom on Thursday, March 4, 2021 at 7 p.m.
This webinar, a power point presentation offered by naturalist and landscaper John Root, describes the essential roles played by birds, pollinators, and other beneficial wildlife and provides guidance on meeting their needs for food, cover, and water. A variety of plants that nourish these organisms throughout their lifecycles is discussed, and organic methods for establishing wildlife habitat are also presented. Handouts will be available for downloading, and comments and questions will be welcome at the conclusion of the program. A recording of this event will be scheduled for multiple broadcasts by Amherst Media and will be made accessible at their website via YouTube.
