Your yard can help to support songbirds, pollinators, and wildlife - AND look beautiful! March is the perfect time to begin planning gardening projects, but there are also some common mistakes that you should avoid. During this presentation, Angie Hong will talk about what to plant, how to get started, where to buy native plants in Minnesota, and where to find additional support for planting projects. Learn about native gardens, bee lawns, flowering trees and shrubs, and large-scale habitat restoration. In addition, we'll also discuss spring gardening “dos and don’ts.”

Whether your yard is large or small, you can help to create pockets of habitat and protect Isanti County's wetlands and lakes.
