Knowing that we are all concerned with the long dry summer that ended suddenly with flash flood warnings, many of us want to know what we can do to help our climate and the extremes that are being thrown our way. One piece that we as gardeners can do is to learn about and encourage pollinators. I’m proud to be part of an association (WSNLA) that continues to be at the forefront with offering educational topics that are relevant. Sue Goetz will not disappoint in her knowledge and friendly approach to learning about this important topic that will be offered as an online meeting and as a recording. I’m hopeful to “see” you at “Pollinator Paradox”!
Pollinator ParadoxThursday, November 3 | 9:00 – 10:00 am
This idea and thinking came to me when a client asked why her cherries didn’t fruit even though she had added plants to attract pollinators. So, I visited her garden and did a little investigation. Want to know what I found out? Join me for the rest of the story. What we are selling, writing, and teaching about successful pollinator gardens. It’s not just about a list of pretty plants (although I will go there too!) Let’s show clients and customers how to create pollinator support spaces. Design notes, organic garden care, healthy plants, and a natural environment that helps pollinators thrive.
