Learn to build a habitat garden at workshop

Edge of the Woods Nursery, 2415 Route 100, Orefield, will present a workshop on native habitats and how to create one from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 19.

Bill Lamack, native plant expert and former grounds and nursery manager of Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, Washington Crossing Park, will be presenting the workshop.

Despite where you live or whether you have a small or large outdoor space, you can create a garden that will not only attract beautiful wildlife, but also help to restore a habitat area and help to restore the ecological balance of your community.

Regardless of size, whether a 20-acre farm, a city lot, or a garden bed in your backyard when planted with intention, a habitat area will offer shelter, water or safety to the insects and wildlife that keep our flowers and trees pollinated, our local produce healthy and our ecosystem functioning.

According to the National Wildlife Federation, the top four reasons to consider providing a native habitat are to provide wildlife with food, water, cover and shelter.
