Landscape architect Tim Phelps of Sprout Landscape in Madison will lead a group discussion about what makes a yard congenial for chickens and other pets on Wednesday evening, May 21st, from 7 to 9 p.m. at CLUCK the Chicken Store. Tim will talk about the growing trend of petscaping in general as well as his own experience in planning a yard to maximize enjoyment of a garden along with the critters who share our lives. Susan from CLUCK will also participate, including information from her talks to master garden groups regarding the pleasures and pitfalls of gardening with backyard chickens. This will be an informal roundtable discussion with Q&A. There is a $10 registration fee and a limit of 15 participants. Everyone will go home with a few potted herbs that are especially beneficial for chickens, and that can be planted in the garden. Respond to [email protected] or call 608-848-1200 to register.
