You can make a big difference for pollinators in your home landscape – even if you have a small yard or even just a patio to work with!

Insect pollinators are the base of the food chain and they prefer native plants. In this presentation, we’ll cover strategic plant choices to attract pollinators and contribute to a vibrant urban ecology. Plant lists in bloom calendar format will be provided.
