2021 Garden Tour - Cancelled
We hope that all is back to normal by June of 2021, but a garden tour requires months of advance planning and the coordination of dozens of people, so we have reluctantly decided that we must cancel our plans for a 2021 tour. |
No Program in December
By tradition, we do not have a monthly program in December, but rest assured that we're hard at work securing Zoom presenters for programs in 2021. If you have suggestions for speakers or topics of interest, please email us at camanowildlifehabitat@gmail.com |
Creating Wildlife Habitat in the Winter
Winter Wildlife Habitat – How To Help Animals In Winter is a great article by Mary Dyer that discusses how leaving a few piles of leaves and not trimming perennials will provide food and shelter.Winter Gardening Dos And Don’ts – What To Do In A Garden In Winterby Laura Miller cautions that you do need to clean out perennial weeds and deadhead flowers that are invasive. Do deadhead flowers
with invasive tendencies. Seeds from manageable species can be left in
place as winter forage for wild birds. Read more at Gardening Know How: Winter Gardening Dos And Don’ts – What To Do In A Garden In Winter https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/winter-gardening-dos-and-donts.htm |
November 2020 Septic Landscaping Program Follow-up
November 18th, 2020 Camano Wildlife Program SEPTIC DRAIN FIELD PLANTING IDEAS - Attractive Landscaping Choices for your Septic Tank & Drain Field Presented by Scott Chase, Sound Water Stewards The recording of our Zoom Webinar can be found on our new YouTube channel here. Unfortunately,
the slides are blurry because Scott's concern over his home's possibly
poor internet connection was justified. He had planned to speak to us
from the Camano Multi-Purpose Building, but its doors are once again
chained shut. The slides looked perfect in our practice sessions
(including one the evening before) so we were lulled into a false sense
of security. Other Resources and links of interest: Scott's handoutSign up to get on the email lists for the 2021 Snohomish Conservation District Plant Sale and/or the Salal Native Plant Sale. |
