The Brodhead Watershed Association will hold a May 6 Gardening for Wildlife - How People Benefit when Nature Thrives Workshop at the Brodhead Creek Heritage Center, 1539 Cherry Lane Road in East Stroudsburg, Monroe County from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Join us for an inspiring program that delves into the powerful link between native plant gardening and the health of our local ecosystems.

Discover how simple choices in your own backyard can support wildlife, restore habitat, and create personal moments of connection with nature.

Amy Girardi, Monroe County Penn State Master Gardener, will lead an educational talk exploring the “why” behind planting native species.

Learn how gardening for wildlife not only provides essential food, water, and shelter for birds, amphibians, and mammals but also offers a fulfilling way to enjoy and nurture the natural world around you.

The workshop is free, but registration is required.
