Transforming Your Yard Into Habitat with Daphne Minner

Learn organic habitat gardening practices that support insects, birds, and others in ways that traditional horticulture practices do not. Daphne will lead activities to help you:

• Assess how well your own property provides food, water, cover and nesting resources for wildlife
• Identify common invasive plants to remove
• How to select NH native plants for your property that will bolster insect and bird habitat
