Gardening Webinar with Melinda Myers

Wednesday, May 6 • 6:30–8 pm


Whether you’re gardening on a balcony, in a small yard, or in a bigger space, Melinda can help you choose the right native plants. Native plants help soak up rainwater and support pollinators, birds, and helpful insects. They also add color and beauty throughout the seasons. Even a few native plants in containers can make a big difference—and make your space more fun to enjoy. Registration is required.
