Pollination is critically important for our ecosystem and agriculture. Learn how you can support pollinators such as bees, butterflies and other insects and birds and see how beautiful native plants can be in our demonstration gardens. Master Gardeners Alice Shelman and Polly Spencer will be on hand to talk about our butterfly and native plant gardens. Master Gardener Rich Umbel will discuss native bees and how to attract them to your property.
