Humber Arboretum, 416.675.5009, arboretum@humber.ca
First-year Landscaping students did a great job this week getting the planting started on the Humber Arboretum's new bird-friendly garden. On Saturday, you can help finish the job and get some hands-on learning of your own!
When it's finished, the new bird-friendly garden that the Humber Arboretum is building in partnership with Bird Studies Canada will show homeowners how they can make their own backyard more bird-friendly based on their plant choices and the habitat structures they provide.
At this family-friendly event you can learn about the garden design and the types of birds the garden is expected to attract. Get a demonstration of the correct way to use binoculars (it's not as easy as you think!), see what birds you can spot at the Arb, help set-up new bird feeders, and take part in some of the final fall plantings.
When: Saturday, October 22 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Where: Humber Arboretum (at the back of the Humber College North Campus)
