The presence of birds in your yard and garden is a delight in any season. What plantings are most beneficial to our native birds by providing food, cover, or habitat throughout the year? The Groton Garden Club and the Nashua River Watershed Association (NRWA) are co-sponsoring a free presentation “Gardening to Attract Birds” on Sunday, Feb. 28, at 2 p.m., at the NRWA River Resource Center, 592 Main Street (Rt. 119) in Groton.
Our presenter will be Ellen Walther Sousa, author of “The Green Garden: A New England Guide to Planning, Planting and Maintaining the Eco-Friendly Habitat Garden.” Ellen is an instructor and overseer for the New England Wild Flower Society. Her own property in Spencer, Turkey Hill Brook Farm, is landscaped for birds, pollinators, and many other forms of intriguing wildlife, www.thbfarm.com.
