Miradae Native Plant Nursery
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.
