The Home Grown National Park movement is a grassroots call to action to regenerate biodiversity and ecosystem functions by planting native plants and creating new ecological networks.

Topics to be covered during the event will include:

• Learning how to give nature more space by creating a biodiverse yard.
• Enjoying time in the sun and outdoors while building a home garden.
• The purposeful planting of native plants for easy yard care

The event is free, but the city asks attendees to register at www.codb.us/activities.
