Native Species Spotlight: Talk and Plant Swap

3025 New Holland Road, Reading, PA 19607

“What are the best pollinator plants?” “How do I attract hummingbirds to my yard?” Urban Native Plant Enthusiast Katie Fisk will share some of her favorite plant species for attracting hummingbirds, must-haves for the pollinator garden, flowers that produce seeds for birds, and other native garden all-stars. Afterwards there will be a plant swap, where you can maybe take some of these featured plants home to add to your garden!



At the end of the presentation, we invite you to swap native plant seeds and/or divisions from your own garden with other program participants. Plant swaps are a great, easy way to increase biodiversity in your own garden! Bring as many plants as you like, but please, only plan on taking a plant if you bring a native plant to trade.

Registration is required for all participants. Spaces are limited, so please be sure you sign up and pay to finalize your registration spot. We will not be able to take walk up participants.

This is a fundraiser for the Friends of Nolde Forest. All payments are final unless this program needs to be cancelled by the Friends of Nolde Forest due to extenuating circumstances.

Due to the increasing popularity of our programming and the growing number of people on the wait-list for programs, we require a 24-hour cancellation notice for all programs. This will allow us time to reach out to other participants/families on the wait list and allow them to fill your spot. Individuals who repeatedly do not cancel before the program and who repeatedly do not show up to the program will be prohibited from signing up for future programs.
