Are you ready to have a pollinator garden, bird attracting garden, rain garden or just a native plant showcase? Fall is the best time to plant. Come visit with two local, native plant nurseries at the Nature Center on Sunday, September 12 from 10 am to 3pm. A short program, “Landscaping with Native Plants in Modern Suburbia” will be presented by John Magee. For more info visit, www.BroadlandsNaturally.org.

Looking for fun craft activities for the kids? Come to the Nature Center and see the craft kits that we have available for only $1.00 each. They're fun and easy for kids to complete! Everything you need to complete the craft is included, except the glue. They make great gifts and all proceeds from the sale of the Nature Center Craft Kits help us take care of our animal guests. Quantities are limited, so stop in soon!

As the 2010 pool season winds down, remember to store your pool passes in a spot where you will have easy access to them next May. Your photo ID passes are good from year to year! No need to get an updated pass, we do that electronically. Hope you had a great summer, we'll see you next season!

The popular summer concert series, Broadlands Live!, needs a few good men and women. The committee plans the 4 concerts during the summer. Teens and young adults are also encouraged to volunteer. Contact Angela Rabena to find out how you can help.

The Nature Center offers a variety of fun and educational programs for children. Check out the list of upcoming events. Be sure to register early!
