ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
Pat and Clay Sutton have witnessed some amazing natural history happenings in their 47-year old wildlife garden, some heart-warming and some heart-stopping. Be prepared for an eye-opening view into the natural world, occurrences that happen every day out in the wild but are rarely seen, unless you’ve created a wildlife garden so welcoming that wildlife feels quite at home! Folks will be encouraged to put the garden hose away when Oleander Aphids appear on their milkweed and instead take a seat and watch Mother Nature at work as a number of natural predators resolve one garden issue after the next.
