Gardening for Wildlife

Discover how your garden can become a haven for birds, bees, butterflies, and more! Join us for this walking tour focused on creating vibrant, sustainable landscapes that support Colorado’s native wildlife. As we explore the garden together, you'll learn practical strategies for attracting pollinators, providing food and shelter for birds, conserving water, and using native plants to build healthy ecosystems.

Birds, Their Food and You

Ever wonder what birds eat—and how you can help them thrive right in your own backyard?
Join us as we explore the essentials of bird diets and discover how meeting their needs can invite more feathered friends to your space. We'll dive into the plants and insects that provide the most nourishment for birds, plus touch on how feeders can complement a bird-friendly habitat.
