The Sacramento Public Library is excited to partner with Miridae Mobile Plant Nursery for a native plant workshop and giveaway. Join us!

Why are native plants essential? Learn the importance of adding native plants to our outdoor spaces, and how to care for them year-round during our 45-minute workshop. Get input on native plant and design-related questions from a landscape designer and horticulturist. Afterwards, experience the Mobile Nursery in person and go home with your very own native plant while supplies last. 

The workshop and Q&A will be from 3- 4 PM and the plant giveaway will be available afterward, while supplies last.

Program sponsored by the Friends of the Sacramento Public Library.
