| The Conejo Valley Audubon Society in partnership with the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology will be hosting this tour. Our tour will feature residential yards and a native plant nursery. These gardens provide habitat for our native birds, demonstrate the use of drought tolerant native and non-native plants.The 2020 Bird-Friendly Garden Tour is going VIRTUAL this year! It’s not too late to sign up to receive the tour via e-mail. The e-mail will contain a short description along with a link to photos and/or videos of each garden. We will also be sending out (via e-mail) a plant list for each garden along and a document detailing our six recommended anchor plants (and their attributes). This document will also contain links to local resources. Since many of us have a bit of extra time these days, perhaps our virtual tour will inspire you to research, plan, design and create a bird-friendly habitat of your own! The virtual tour is free of charge and will be available by April 18th. Please RSVP to cvasgardentour@gmail.com if you wish to receive the virtual tour. We hope our bird-friendly garden tour will inspire you to install a habitat of your own. To paraphrase the film Field of Dreams, “If you build it, they will come!” Stay tuned for news about the CVAS Lawns To Habitat restoration program this summer. If your application is approved, you can receive design assistance plus $200 of native plants in the fall. Or, if your garden is already planted you can encourage a friend to apply. |
