University of Illinois Extension Offers Program on Gardening For Birds

The fall series of the Four Seasons Gardening Program from the University of Illinois Extension concludes with a session titled “Gardening For Birds”

If you plant it, they will come.  This program is not just a program with a plant list, but a thoughtful way to incorporate birds , and all their joy, into your garden. Join Peggy Doty, Extension Educator, to consider not only the bird’s needs, but also the needs of you, your family, children or grandchildren, pets, and of course the current plants in your garden.

This program will be offered via a live webinar on Tuesday, December 3rd at 1:30 p.m. at the following University of Illinois Extension Offices: Bureau County in Princeton; Marshall-Putnam Counties in Henry; and LaSalle County in Ottawa. This webinar may also be viewed from wherever you have internet access by pre-registering at go.illinois.edu/4seasons_webinars.
