Third Thursdays: Bringing Nature to Your Backyard

Thursday, February 16, 2012
6:30 p.m.  to 7:30 p.m.

Bringing Nature to Your Backyard is the first session of the new Third Thursdays program.  This session encourages children and adults to transform their backyards to attract wildlife.  Learn about plants that attract wildlife that live and migrate through our area.  Learn to create a food, water, cover and safe haven sources for animals and insects around your home.  Participants will plant seeds of native plants, make bird feeders, and create a bird house out of reused materials.  Participants can take all of these items home to begin their backyard transformation.
 

Third Thursday programs are offered each month from February through April at Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center. These evening programs begin at 6:30 p.m. lasting one hour.  Some programs are designed for families with children and others are designed for adults.  Seating is limited, please reserve your space by calling 409.670.9799 to RSVP.
