Join us at the Jackson County Public Library on Tuesday, March 10th for a discussion on the benefits of gardening with native plants. During this talk from 5:30pm-6:30pm in the Community Room of the Jackson County Public Library, Outreach Director Skye will explore the beauty, joy, and diversity that native plants bring to your landscape. Whether you have a whole lawn you want to transform into a wildflower meadow or a simple windowsill basket, you can enjoy native plants and the wildlife that rely on them, including butterflies and hummingbirds. Attendees will learn why native plants are important and the benefits they provide to humans, wildlife, and the environment, plus a few recommended species to try in both gardens and containers. The program will end with a brief overview of our WNC Wildseed Library program, Mainspring’s volunteer-supported native seed library that provides free native seed packets within the Jackson County Public Library and Macon County Public Library.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information please call the library at 828-586-2016. The Jackson County Public Library is a member of the Fontana Regional Library.
