Learn how to establish a bird-friendly garden in your own yard, patio or balcony. Get hands-on experience creating wildlife habitat under the expert guidance of a resident master gardener. Get familiar with the principles of Florida-friendly landscaping. Activities include invasive plant removal, planting native species, selective pruning of native shrubs and small trees, and tidying the network of trails.
