Join us as we learn more about pollinators, and growing pollinator friendly landscapes. Creating pollinator gardens doesn’t just help the bees; it also helps your fruits and vegetables. We will cover the key local and regional native perennials that provide pollinators with nectar and pollen throughout the season. This course also highlights host plants for caterpillars of butterflies and moths, and plants that provide for other pollinating specialists.
Participants will take home plant lists and a greater understanding of strategies to incorporate these plants and techniques into your own garden space.
This is a workshop for all levels, beginner to professional.
This class will meet inside CVU.
