Native Birds Need Native Plants

Would you like to help create a garden for birds? Learn about a new project to provide the Thames Street Park herons with a native planting beneath the trees they nest in.

Join us in a discussion of how the ecological relationships between native birds and native plants can make gardening fun and meaningful. We’ll talk about how plants fuel birds through nesting season, migration, and year-round. We’ll also discuss the importance of a layered habitat structure and how that relates to designing a garden for the Thames Street Park herons.

Gardening is about noticing. Learn how to notice and support the birds in your garden and around your neighborhood.

Our presenter, Brigit Burbank joined Wild Ones as a member in 2024. She enjoys learning about native plants, ecology, and land stewardship. In her spare time, she helps manage a community garden that is transitioning from nonnatives and invasive species to native plants. Volunteering in the community garden has helped her feel more connected to nature that persists in urban landscapes and to neighbors that she has met through their shared love of green spaces. She is excited to help provide vital educational and social opportunities to people interested in learning about native plants.
