Discover practical tips and strategies from Bonnie Zand, an expert in native bees and pollinator conservation. Learn how to create a pollinator-friendly environment in your gardens and make a positive impact on biodiversity in our community.
We hear a lot about declining biodiversity, our warming climate, and disappearing insects, but we do hope you’ll join us to hear hopeful tips on what we on SSI, and particularly gardeners, can do for our native bees. Bonnie will discuss the role and importance of native bees and other lesser-known pollinators. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a beginner, this inspiring event will teach you how to nurture your plants and welcome native pollinators.
