Our home gardens are often designed for the warm growing season, overlooking the potential of a stunning winter garden with snow-capped seed heads and hints of green. In this on-line workshop, participants will learn 20 native plants that are best as a winter highlight in the home garden and tips on supporting nesting wild bees, overwintering butterflies, and songbirds throughout the cold winter months.Elyse Jurgen, owner of <a href="http://www.waxwingecoworks.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Waxwing EcoWorks Co.</a>, is a community collaborator working to rebuild ecological literacy and biodiversity through hands-on ecological gardening experiences in South Central PA.She is certified as a Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professional and Ecological/Permaculture Designer, along with earning an Ecological Gardening Certification from Mt.
