Gardening for Biodiversity with Native Plants

Join Franklin Conservation District’s Native Plants Winter Workshop Series at Sunderland Public Library for a presentation on Gardening for Biodiversity with Heidi Dollard.

The “little things that run the world” are in big trouble: Insect populations are plummeting, and many species are headed for extinction. This spells disaster for our food supply, our ecology, and indeed, life on earth. The good news is that we can turn this around, starting in our own yards. By planting native plants, and other simple steps, we can restore vital insect populations. Come learn what you can do, and be inspired!
