Planting for Native Birds - hands-on workshop Thursday September 18 from 6:00-7:30 pm
Ithaca Permaculture Park (aka Conley Park), Alice Miller Way between Franklin and Adams Streets, Ithaca Cost: Free! At our current rate of growth we lose 21 million acres of bird and pollinator habitat to residential development every decade - an area the size of Maryland and West Virginia combined! This means it's more important than ever for homeowners to plant shrubs, trees, perennials and annuals that support native birds and pollinators. In this free, hands-on class participants will help design and plant a native garden in the Ithaca Permaculture Park (aka Conley Park). This is an opportunity to learn about native plants that provide food and habitat for native birds and pollinators as well as best practices for planting trees and shrubs. This is an outdoor hands-on class so please come dressed for the weather! Tools and gloves will be provided. - See more at: http://ccetompkins.org/calendar Chrys Gardener Commercial/Community Horticulture Educator Cornell Cooperative Extension - Tompkins County 615 Willow Avenue, Ithaca NY 14850 (607)272-2292, extension 241 www.ccetompkins.org<http://www.ccetompkins.org>
