Virtual Speaker Series:
Plants and People
End of April
(date TBD)
Check back soon for more information!
This online speaker series will be scheduled for the end of April (exact date and time TBD!) and will have three panelists speak about pollinator gardens from a landscaping perspective.
Historically, gardening is something that has focused on the human aesthetic, but in recent years, pollinator-gardening has begun increasing in popularity. In this webinar, speakers will discuss how landscaping for pollinators is a blend of designing spaces that both people and pollinators find pleasing, the challenges that landscapers face in trying to keep both the customer and wildlife happy, and strategies that seem to work well as it relates to catering to both parties.
