Native Plants For Birds And Butterflies

John Longstreth, director of Bent of the River Audubon Sanctuary in Southbury, will be presenting a program entitled “Native Plants for Birds and Butterflies” on Wednesday, February 8, at 7:30 pm, at the senior center in Sandy Hook. The program will be sponsored by Town and Country Garden Club of Newtown.

Mr Longstreth’s talk will be a power point presentation that will show people how to make their backyard or garden a friendlier place for native plants and wildlife. He will discuss the problems of invasive plants, the needs of birds, and display a variety of shrubs. He will have handouts from the DEP and give out a list of nurseries that feature native plants.

The program is free and open to the public.
