Evening Garden Club of West Roxbury on How to Add 'Life' to Your Yard

If you've got a garden in West Roxbury and want to add a little magic with the help of butterflies, hummingbirds or other natural wildlife, you're in luck. 

The Evening Garden Club of West Roxbury on Wednesday will hold an event focused on how to such creatures to one's yard. 

Residents from the area are invited to learn how to make their yards more hospitable to such creatures at the event, which will run from 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, April 9 at the Elks Lodge at Morrell & Spring streets in West Roxbury. 

Suzanne Mahler, a gardner, photographer and newspaper columnist will speak at the event. The former president of the New England Daylily Society, Mahler is known for growing more than 600 daylily cultivars in her own garden in Hanover.
