Did you know that about three quarters of flowering plants and 35 percent of food crops need animal pollinators like bees, butterflies, birds, and bats to reproduce? However, pollinators are being threatened by loss of habitat, climate change, diseases, and parasites. Learn about the importance of pollinators and what a gardener can do to support these creatures and avoid harming them further.
The workshop will include a presentation, Q & A, and small-group discussion about opportunities and ideas for supporting pollinators on private property and in public spaces.
Children under 16 are welcome with an accompanying adult.
Spaces are limited; please sign up using the form below.
