Our pollinators are in peril and native plants bring butterflies and birds! Join us on Wednesday, May 24, from 7-8pm to learn how to support biodiversity and create your own eco- paradise. You will go home with ideas for easy-care and beautiful native shrubs and flowers for different soil and sun conditions. This workshop is perfect for beginners. This event is in-person, but a zoom link is available for those who would like to attend virtually. Free for METC members, $10 for non-members.
