You don’t need a huge backyard to build a garden! Growing a small garden patch, a few patio pots, or a window box is a fantastic, accessible way for seniors to spend time working with their hands and enjoying the fresh air. Home Instead spotted a lecture that shows you exactly how to transform even the smallest outdoor spaces into a butterfly's paradise.
The Welwood Murray Memorial Library is hosting a presentation called Creating Pollinator Gardens in Small Spaces on Wednesday, July 1st, from 2:30 to 4:30pm at 100 S Palm Canyon Dr. Lifelong gardener and certified expert, Jack Fitzsimmons of the Xerces Society, will show you the science of conservation and how you can help protect essential insects and their habitats. This will be a great refresher for seasoned gardeners and the perfect place to start for a beginner eager to learn what local plants perform best in Palm Springs.
Learning how to bring more life into your own backyard is a great way to get out and engage with the natural world around us. As Home Instead strives to provide the best home care in Palm Springs, CA, we will continue to spotlight local events that give seniors and their families fun reasons to explore the community. Grab a notebook and head downtown to pick up some expert gardening tips!
