Cyperaceae, also commonly called sedges, are a family of flowering plants that have a grass-like appearance. They can make great ornamental plants, as they have triangular three-sided stems with concealed blossoms. They typically grow in moist ground. Unlike most grasses used for gardening and landscaping purposes, sedges are cool-season flowering plants. They are upright and give out a relatively glossy and lush look.

Protecting the trees and other vegetation that what we currently have is perhaps the most important way to ensure biodiversity in cities.
The urban environment presents dangers to wildlife that they are not always adapted to overcome. Reducing urban hazards is an essential part of enhancing habitat in cities. After all, we do not want to lure wildlife into our neighborhoods only to have them fatally collide with our windows.
This workshop will guide you through the process and materials needed to help you decide if Mason Bees are right for you and your garden, whether you have a small deck or an open garden.
Take a virtual trip across Capitol Hill to learn about urban habitat types, how to identify the unique birds they support, and what we can do to make the neighborhood a safer place for them to live.
Three inspiring local food justice practitioners will share how their work in urban farming improves access to healthy foods, fosters relationships to land, and builds community.
Nature of Your Neighborhood is a collaboration between Birds Connect Seattle, the Capitol Hill EcoDistrict, and the Seattle Bird Conservation Partnership. Our goal is to foster relationships between the people and the nature of their neighborhoods.
