Workshops

Event Date: Tuesday, April 8, 2014

Start Time: 7:30 pm

Fee: $5 for Nature Manitoba members, $10 for non-members (students: $3 for members, $5 for non-members).

Instructor: Kelley Leibzeit, Master Gardener in Training

Location: Kelvin High School, Room 31

Kelley will show you how her garden went from dirt and gravel to an oasis for people, plants, and wildlife. With 20 years of gardening experience, she’ll share tips and photos on how her garden grew. After attending a Naturescape program, she made a decision to change the direction of her garden.  She added more native plantings to draw in even more birds and butterflies. The Spring Migration of 2013 was a roaring success, bringing in many varieties of warblers, sparrows, woodpeckers and hawks, as well as a few of her favourites like waxwings and orioles. She even had a few unusual surprises. Come and hear Kelley’s Garden Story.
