Join us on October 18 at Birds Canada in Port Rowan for a fantastic opportunity for both birders and gardeners alike to re-envision how their back yard can become a vibrant oasis for nature and learn how to collect seeds so you can grow more flowers next year!

Master Gardener Expert, Kevin Kavanagh will introduce you to native plant gardening techniques and some of the best plants to provide great floral displays while also attracting birds to the garden. You will also learn how your garden can be a live feeder for winter birds and harvest seeds and do winter sowing in order to grow your own plants for next years garden.

Have questions about how your own backyard can support birds? Members of the Grand Erie Master Gardeners will be on hand to explore your personal questions about garden design and native plant selection after the presentation.

There will also be an optional guided walk on the trails surrounding the Birds Canada headquarters led by Gregor Beck from Birds Canada.

Thank you to our funders, Armstrong Bird Foods and Wild Birds Unlimited for making this event possible.

Registration is required.
