Winter sowing native plants

You can convert a patch of your lawn into a bird buffet by winter sowing keystone native plants. Let's transform our yards into bird sanctuaries, our boulevards into pollinator paradises and the ground beneath trees into soft landings for lepidoptera!

Transform your yard into a haven for biodiversity. Join us to learn how.

When: Saturday, January 10, 1:00-3:00 pm
Where: Champlain Room, Seniors Centre, 56 Francis Street, Kingston
