Did you know migratory birds and butterflies fly 100+ miles per day? Making that journey requires a lot of fuel and stamina! But what can we do to ensure that our avian and insect friends get to their destination safely?

Join Pollinator Steward, Heather Andrews, at the Horn Farm to learn about the migrating creatures and how we can create take-home gardens. These containers will cater to a variety of conditions from sun or shade and wet to dry. Choosing from a variety of these plantings this spring will help migrating species sustain their long flights. The class will cover:

๐Ÿฆ‹ Host plants for native butterflies and birds
๐Ÿฆ‹ What are โ€œkeystoneโ€ plants in your geography to host the most pollinators possible
๐Ÿฆ‹ Strategic combinations of plants will maximize butterfly activity in your garden
๐Ÿฆ‹ Why you should be a โ€œlazy gardenerโ€ and delay spring clean up to help overwintering butterflies, bugs, moths and birds

She will create 2 demonstration pots during class designed to attract migratory butterflies and hummingbirds. At the end of the presentation, you will select 3 plants to create your own seasonal 'fueling station' at home! Using plants provided by Calyx Native Nursery, you can customize a sun or shade pot that is rich with plants that will help energize all the migratory species passing through your yard this fall.

$40/person. Cost includes teaching fee and three native plants to take home, grown at the Horn Farm Center by our farm partner, Calyx Native Nursery (calyxnativenursery.com/).
