Gardening for Pollinators and Other Wildlife

About the Workshop

Did you know that your garden can become a life-supporting ecosystem that can help reverse the trajectory of climate change? We’ll explore who pollinators are and why they need our support. We’ll discuss planting native plants and other techniques to create habitat for both pollinators and other wildlife.
