Using Keystone Plants to Bring Pollinators to Your Yard
July 11 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Last summer gardening professionals Suzanne Thompson and Petie Reid spoke at the Museum about controlling knotweed and other invasive plants. This summer they are back by popular demand to help us plan, plant and expand native gardens that support the birds, bees, and other pollinators that we all depend upon.
The Pollinator Pathway movement encourages us to grow a variety of native plants in our yards. Come learn about the keystone plants that are vital to restoring and retaining our natural ecosystems. Thompson and Reed will show you keystone families of native plants that grow well together and how you can create pleasing plantings that both you and your pollinators will enjoy.
WHEN: Thursday, July 11, 2024
TIME: 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
PLACE: In person at the Museum, 2nd floor
