SCNPS Symposium – Habitat Workshop

Registration will open soon! You can learn more about the South Carolina Native Plant Society’s fall symposium here.

You are invited to join Savannah Jordan, SCWF’s Habitat Education Manager, on Saturday, October 19th from 11 am – 12 pm for a workshop at Bookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet.

This workshop will include instruction on how to create a variety of nature-inspired crafts, gifts, and artwork. Participants will also learn how their own gardens can become Certified Wildlife Habitats through an informative presentation about using the right plants, foods, and other essential elements to create a backyard sanctuary for wildlife.

 

Birds in the Garden Workshop

SCWF invites you to come learn about the fundamentals to create a thriving and functional habitat for birds and other wildlife in your own yard! Participants will learn how to create and enhance wildlife habitat by planting native plants, providing a water source, adding feeders and nest boxes and how their own yards can be certified by the National Wildlife Federation. Come hear about examples of Certified Wildlife Habitats at schools, churches, parks, businesses, and how even entire communities have become certified! Participants will also enjoy planting native seeds in pots to take home and entering for the chance to win door prizes like bird feeders, nesting boxes, and bird seed generously donated by the Wild Birds Unlimited Nature Shop.

The price of this workshop is $15, and will be held from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm at the Wild Birds Unlimited in Columbia. Register quickly because space is limited!
