Attracting Birds and Bees to Your Garden


  • The Morton Arboretum 4100 Illinois 53 Lisle, IL, 60532 United States (map)

Birds and bees are an important part of healthy landscapes. Learn how to attract birds and bees to your garden in this live, interactive online class with landscape designer Carol Becker. Start with the basic principles of sustainability, and learn how to assess your garden based on these principles. Over the course of two sessions, we will also cover: 

  • how birds and bees benefit both the landscape and people,

  • which native plants for birds and bees you might expect to attract to your garden,

  • methods for building healthy soil (the foundation of garden success!),

  • managing water onsite for the benefit of insects and birds,

  • and maintaining the garden for birds and bees.

Between classes, work on an at-home assignment designed to help you transform a section of your garden into a bird- and bee-friendly space.

This live online class will be offered both days from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
