Do you love birds? Would you like to reduce your yard upkeep costs? Do you want to recreate a native, beautiful habitat in your yard? There are many reasons to garden for birds – dig in with us as we share those reasons.

In this program, Laura VonMutius, education manager of the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey, covers bird-friendly plants that can attract and protect the birds you love while making your space beautiful, easy to care for, and better for the environment. Plus, you have the chance to see live raptor ambassador birds and learn how they benefit from native plants!

This program is presented by Laura VonMutius and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
