 Wildlife
Habitat Garden Tour
Saturday
July 14, 2007
Sponsored by
Fort Collins Audubon Society
A tour of five Fort Collins gardens designed with wildlife in mind will
be sponsored by Fort Collins Audubon Society on Saturday, July 14, 2007.
Visitors may purchase a guidebook for the tour from sponsors, including
Fort Collins Nursery, Ranchway Feeds, Wild Birds Unlimited, and Bath
Nursery. The self-guided tour will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each garden
exhibits a different approach to designing a bird, butterfly, or other
wildlife-friendly garden. Ranging from a small suburban backyard to
several acres, and primarily designed and built by the owners, each
garden is distinctive. Each offers a learning opportunity for visitors
to create their own wildlife-friendly garden by adding plantings and
features to support the food, shelter, and water needs of animals.
Cost for the tour will be $13 in advance and $15 at the gardens, with
children’s tickets (ages 5-15) available at the gardens for $5. Please Contact
Lynne Hull at (970) 416-1881,
