On Wednesday, June 23, join naturalist and landscaper John Root to learn how to create a nature sanctuary in your backyard to attract birds, butterflies, bees and other beneficials by meeting their needs for food, cover, and water. A variety of plants that nourish these organisms throughout their life cycles will be discussed, and organic methods for creating and maintaining a wildlife habitat will also be presented. Handouts will be downloadable, and comments and questions will be welcome at the conclusion of the program.

This program is offered in collaboration with the Reading, Melrose, and Wakefield public libraries.
