Gardening for Native Bees & Pollinators

Join Dr. Kit Prendergast, a native bee scientist, conservation biologist, and zoologist, for an engaging workshop on gardening for native bees. This adult education session focuses on plants and garden habitats that support our native bee pollinators.

Discover how to transform your garden into a thriving habitat for native bees. By enhancing your garden to meet the needs of these pollinators, you contribute to their survival and enrich your local environment. No garden is too small to make a difference, every effort counts! Together, we can raise awareness about the importance of pollinators and support their needs.
