- Longwood Gardens is offering a youth workshop, Home Tweet Home, on Saturday, March 14, from noon to 1:30 p.m. Trees aren’t just part of the scenery; they’re vital habitats for wildlife. Many birds rely on natural holes, called cavities, to build nests and raise their young safely away from predators. Join Longwood for this hands-on bird conservation workshop to learn about different types of birds and how you can help protect them. Put your new knowledge into action by building your own birdhouse for your backyard. All materials included. The cost for the workshop is $40.
