Zoom meeting with Master Gardener Rebecca Last
​
Things I Learned from My Garden … And Mother Nature
Gardening can teach us a lot if we pay attention. After gardening in the same small suburban space for over 30 years, Rebecca shares what she has learned. If you don't put the right plant in the right place, it probably won't survive. If you build it, they will come. A wildlife-friendly garden design will attract wildlife -- but not just the cute ones. Join us for a fun talk that is part reminiscence about gardening mistakes and part an introduction to ecological gardening practices.
