Virtual Event: Improving your Gardens with Pollinators
Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and some birds, are responsible for one in three bites of food we eat, yet their populations are experiencing a precipitous decline worldwide. Learn to create a beautiful, bountiful vegetable, herb, and flower garden while creating important pollinator habitat. We will discuss how to choose, where to find, and when to plant vegetables, herbs, and flowers to maximize pollinators and the bounty of your harvest.
