Weed Wackers: How to Garden

Next date: Tuesday, April 28, 2026 | 01:00 PM to 03:00 PM

Learn some tips and tricks for native gardening and help us pull weeds from our gardens to keep them beautiful and thriving. This week we will be covering How to Garden, specifically focused on Winter Sowing. Weedy plants have invaded our butterfly and wildflower gardens at Crosswinds Marsh. Whether you have a “green thumb” or not, you can help us bring these gardens back to the native plant gardens they were meant to be to attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other wildlife.
