The Art happens when the audience connects with the storyteller.

SUSAN QUINLAN: Growing Native Plants to Protect Pollinators and Songbirds
Did you know that planting native trees, shrubs and wildflowers in your yard can help you save money and help conserve nature? Native plants have many benefits. They don’t require fertilizers and most require far less water than a lawn or common non-native garden plants. Native shrubs and wildflowers also attract and support important pollinators, like bees and butterflies. In addition, native plants can turn your yard into great habitat for several beautiful songbirds.
Our speaker, naturalist and artist Susan Quinlan, will share photos and helpful information about selecting and growing plants that are native to Colorado based on her 20 years of experience turning the disturbed land around her home into habitat for pollinators and songbirds. You will learn about her favorite native species, where to purchase native plant seeds and starts, things to consider in selecting and planting natives in your yard, and what pollinators and birds you might attract. Learn why landscaping with native plants is an important and fun way to help restore and maintain nature. Susan will also share a variety of free resources to help you learn more about native plant landscaping and plan a nature retreat in your own yard.
