From 7:00 pm until 8:30 PM

At Zoom

Friends of Bees and the Life-Friendly Garden Tour introduce Doug Tallamy's Homegrown National Park. 

The Zoom link is available here

Homegrown National Park is a national challenge to increase habitat by reducing lawn, removing invasive plants, and planting keystone native plants. If we replaced half of what is now lawn nationwide, that could restore roughly 20 million acres -- an area larger than any single National Park -- to habitat we can enjoy at our own homes.

We will view a video about these principles. Then we will discuss how our home gardens can increase habitat for pollinators, birds, and biodiversity. 

From the mightiest oak to the fleeting Virginia bluebells, every native plant we add can make a difference.
