>> As gardeners, when we work with annual plants, much of the preparation
>> for the growing season takes place in the spring. But working with native
>> plants, some very important work happens in the fall, including collecting
>> and spreading native plant seed.
>>
>> We'll join the Field's Nicole Machuca and Michelle Higgins for a hands-on
>> workshop in the *Rice Native Gardens* to study the native plants and
>> learn more about native pollinators. We'll learn about how native
>> pollinators are preparing for the winter and what they will do until now
>> until the spring - and how we can help them get cozy while putting our
>> garden to bed. We will also explore some techniques for native plant seed
>> collecting and will have an opportunity to collect some seeds to take back
>> to our gardens!
>>
>> Light breakfast food including coffee, juice, donuts, and muffins will be
>> available.
>>
>> Parking is scarce at the Field Museum, and we've arranged for a bus to
>> take us to the event! Learn more and register by clicking the button below.
>>
>> Please note, space is limited for this workshop. Tickets are limited to 2
>> gardeners per community garden and kids 10 and older. Please RSVP by
>> September 25.
