Garden Basics: Attracting Birds to Your Garden

At 2 p.m. Saturday, May 16, the Piedmont Master Gardeners will present “Attracting Birds to Your Garden,” a free Garden Basics class. The class is open to all and will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1118 Preston Ave. in Charlottesville. Participants will learn how a mixture of native trees, shrubs and perennials in the garden can provide birds with year-round food, winter shelter and nesting areas. They will also discover how water features in the yard, especially moving water, act as magnets for birds. Space is limited.
