Native plants attract beneficial insects and birds, along with adding color to gardens. Dick Sayles, a Master Gardener with Iowa State University Scott County Extension and Outreach, will discuss how to introduce native plants to your garden at 7 p.m. May 7 at the Scott County Extension Office, 875 Tanglefoot Lane, Bettendorf.

Sayles also is president of the Quad City Audubon Society. His presentation is titled "Birds, Blueberries, Butterflies and Natural Gardening."

Register by calling the Extension Office at 563-359-7577 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays. The $5 class fee may be paid at the door. For information on other ISU Scott County Extension and Outreach programs, visit http://www.extension.iastate.edu/scott/.
