Pollinators are the ultimate ecosystem catalysts; facilitating the crucial contact between pollen and plant ovaries, they are responsible for the growth of our favorite fruits and seeds, and the creation of new, genetically unique plants! This free workshop, led by our resident bee charmer John Latsko, will cover tried and true ways to welcome these invaluable insect friends in your garden.
