Did you know it's the year of the camelid?
It's true that in our part of the world, we don't have many camelid animals in our own gardens. But we can learn about those that do fit well into our region: goats and sheep! Ready to learn more about these amazing ruminants? Join us this fall and be ready for spring.
All ability levels are welcome to attend this three-part series (Wednesdays, 10/23, 10/30 and 11/6). We'll dive into the basics of establishing a healthy habitat for goats and/or sheep, paying close attention to their life cycle stages and nutritional needs. Nurturing native plants and natural cycles are inherent in this process and will also be discussed.
