🌻🌱 “Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.” - Robin Wall Kimmerer, “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants.” 🍃🌾

Thank you to all who attended our class over Landscaping with Native Plants, taught by Connie Scothorn, author of “Oklahoma Native Plants—A Guide to Designing Landscapes to Attract Birds & Butterflies”!

🦋🪻 The time has come! The Landscaping with Native Plants class is tomorrow, Saturday, September 13th, from 11 am to noon! Did you know that the population of birds in this country has decreased by 1/3 in just the last 50 years? That is one reason that we should be planting more native plants: to supply food and shelter for the birds and other pollinators. Another big reason is that they are beautiful! Most will provide an explosion of color at various times of the year. Connie will offer ideas as to how you can design a native garden and transform your yard into a haven for pollinators. The class will include a walk through the nursery so they can point out some of their favorite native plants. (Hint: They are almost all favorites.) 🌼

⭐️ There’s no need to sign up in advance for this class. The fee is $10 per adult, $15 per pair, or you can attend for free by volunteering at our community compost lot from 9 am to 10:30 am that morning. If you’d like to volunteer, please meet us at 1004 W Hill St, Oklahoma City, OK 73118.
