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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
