...by creating Bird-Friendly Gardens! This is a great story and hopefully you'll enjoy it too.I recently met several Faulkner County Master Gardeners who have been hard at work designing and building a bird-friendly garden around the Faulkner County Museum in Conway. I wanted to see if we could set up a garden tour during the upcoming AAS Fall Conference which will be held in Conway.They showed us around the site and told us about several other public gardens they've worked on to get the AAS Bird-Friendly Gardens gold certification -- and have displayed their signage proudly. In addition, they have worked with several local homeowners to get this same certification for them.. So, yes, folks will have the chance to take a special tour of this location during the AAS meeting and get tips on design and care for native plants plus answer questions to help establish a Bird-Friendly Garden in their own yard or place of business. The City of Conway iis proud of the work these gardeners ar
e doing and have created this short video to highlight this success story. https://youtu.be/HsA7ADv5Sug?feature=sharedSo stay tuned for this special fall tour, and if you visit one of their gardens, please thank them for their dedication to this important issue. They love what they're doing to make more gardens bird-friendly.In the meantime, here's information on the AAS Bird-Friendly Certification Program for yards, businesses and places of worship. https://arbirds.org/BFA/ Patty McLean Conway AR
