On April 17, the Garden Club welcomed Brookfield resident and former club member, Deirdra Wallin to give us a presentation titled “Local Birds and How to Support them in our Gardens”. Deirdra is a UCONN Advanced Master Gardener and a Connecticut Audubon Society Master Naturalist. With wonderful photos Deirdra brought us into her backyard, introducing us to the wonderful visitors that return to her bird-friendly garden year after year. And she equipped us with handouts full of helpful information so that we could try to re-create the same welcoming space for our feathered friends. Thank you Deirdra! As usual we also had great fun with our artistic and horticultural exhibits. A real sign that spring is in the air.
