Butterflies, Birds and Blooms
Tuesday, April 17, 2012, 7:00 PM

Pollinator Garden is gaining more interest. Ethereal butterflies and song birds have always been a beautiful addition to a flower garden. Just by growing the right plants, we can attract butterflies, caterpillars, and birds and encourage them to propagate themselves, as well as plants, and flourish within our gardens. Barbara Katz is a certified Master Gardener of Morris County with the Rutgers Cooperative Extension. Please join us for a fun and informative evening. The talk is approximately 45 minutes long with Q&A afterwards.

Offered for sale:  locally grown perennials, assorted annuals, vegetables, herbs, hanging baskets, gift plants, garden décor.  We will also have a table of gently used garden items.

Garden Club members will be available to assist with choosing plants and to answer gardening questions.

Private homeowners will share the beauty of their own gardens, so come get a peek behind the fences and into the backyards of some fabulous gardens.  This year’s tour will feature an endless waterfall, an exotic Asian style rock garden, three beautifully landscaped lakeside gardens and more.
