About this event
Ivy Wander of Ivy's Backyard will share how to plant, weed, and harvest according to lunar cycles, connecting attendees to the natural rhythms that shape how plants grow and thrive. You'll also meet a few of Austin's under-appreciated nighttime pollinators, including moths and bats, and learn about the native plants that bloom just for them. Take home a free night-blooming plant of your own! Come see your garden, and the night sky, in a whole new light!
Who's playing
Ivy Wander runs Ivy's Backyard and leads the session. She teaches how lunar cycles can guide when you plant, weed and harvest. The aim is to connect gardeners to the natural rhythms that shape how plants grow and thrive.
What to expect
A hands-on talk about gardening after dark. You'll meet a few of Austin's under-appreciated nighttime pollinators, including moths and bats, and learn which native plants bloom just for them. The program is part of the library's Roots and Wings Festival. Everyone leaves with a night-blooming plant of their own, while supplies last.
Why go
Most garden advice assumes daylight, and this one looks at what happens in your yard after sundown. It suits anyone curious about native plants or pollinators, and you leave with something to put in the ground. The Windsor Park Branch is a neighborhood library in northeast Austin, so the setting is easygoing.
