Gardening for Life: How to Attract Birds to your Yard

Bring the Cape’s most beautiful, fascinating -- and sometimes dramatic --birds to your own back yard with tips and tricks from master gardener Fran Raleigh. The botanist, ecologist and birder will join host Janice Donovan, manager of the historic Shirley G Cross Wildflower Garden, for a presentation on native plants that can attract year-round and migrating birds. Fran will also explain how helping local birdlife can reduce your own garden chores, including having to water less, and maintain local ecosystems.

Fran Raleigh grew up watching birds and nature in her Northern VA neighborhood. She began getting to know wild plants while earning her BS in Biology at Marietta College in OH, and continued botanizing during grad school at SUNY-ESF in Syracuse, where she earned MS and PhD degrees in Plant Science. A long-time visitor to Cape Cod, she moved here permanently on her retirement.

PLUS, a bake sale filled with delicious treats, with proceeds going to support the incredible work of Brewster Pollinators.
