Greetings, neighbors! It's a beautiful day, and it's got me thinking about the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees! So, this week's Planning to Canning: Gardening on the Cheap class (Thursday, April 5th) will be all about the most important Four Bs your garden (and your entire environment!) have ever seen: Birds Bees Butterflies Bats (Yes. Bats.) We'll talk about the incredible service the B's offer to the world, what they do for you and your garden, how they do it, why they do it, and how to get more of them to think of your place as party central! If you love watching any or all of these guys, and wish you could attract more of them to your yard (even with minimal effort!), make it a point to join us! We meet Thursday evenings, 6:30-8:30 pm. Class is $10/person, with no cost for those on a limited income. Email, call or text for location. I hope to see you there! Rachel 412-251-9759
