The Wellesley Garden Study Group will host an illustrated garden program, “Birdscaping: Home Sweet Habitat,” presented by Jana Milbocker and Joan Butler. The event will take place on Wednesday, September 27, at the Wellesley Free Library on 530 Washington Street. Members of the community are invited to join the Garden Study Group for coffee at 9:30 a.m. and an interesting program on creating an inviting garden for bird habitat.
This delightfully illustrated program explores the importance of creating welcoming habitats for birds through thoughtful landscape choices, including native plants vital for food and nesting sites.
