February: The Value and Benefits of Creating a Bird-friendly Garden

February 25 – 1:30pm
Shepherdstown Public Library
Jane Gamble, club member, will talk about her garden and photographs to demonstrate that there are many ways we can make our gardens more attractive to birds. From growing food sources to providing shelter, water, and nesting locations, every gardener can make small changes that create a big difference to struggling bird populations. The rewards of creating a bird-friendly garden are endless, from the beauty that birds bring through their songs to the ecological benefits they provide by controlling insects. This talk covers the simple steps everyone can take to make their garden more beneficial to our feathered friends, while enhancing the beauty of the garden for all.
