Whether someone has a large or small garden, everyone can benefit from learning to create home landscapes that support bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
At the March 25 general meeting of the El Dorado County chapter of the California Native Plant Society members will watch a video by famed ecologist and educator Doug Tallamy, PhD on ways to encourage pollinators in the garden. The video will be followed by Q&A and a discussion led by local native plant experts and CNPS board members Debra Ayres and Marie (Kit) Veerkamp.
Viewers will learn about different pollinators and their host plants, ground covers to plant in place of lawn, examples of common invasive plants, appropriate plants for meadows and for wet areas, differences between specialist and generalist pollinators, examples of native fruit trees, and more.
