A tour of 5 Fort Collins gardens designed with wildlife
in mind will be sponsored by Fort Collins Audubon Society
on July 14, 2007. Visitors may purchase a “guidebook”
ticket for the tour from sponsors including Fort Collins
Nursery, Ranch-Way Feeds, Wild Birds Unlimited, Bath
Nursery, Perennial Gardener, Gardens on Spring Creek,
and Audubon’s website. . The self-guided tour
will run from 8am to 3pm.
Each garden exhibits a different approach to designing
a bird, butterfly, or other wildlife-friendly garden.
Ranging from a small urban backyard to several in-town
acres, the gardens are primarily designed and built
by the owners, and each is distinctive. Visitors can
learn to create their own wildlife friendly garden by
adding plantings and features that will supply the food,
shelter and water needs of animals.
