Pollinators in the Garden

Making and supporting pollinators should not be optional since they are essential to maintaining the vast number of ecosystem services we all rely on every single day.  Pollinators directly connect to human health and well-being and deserve to be understood, appreciated, and preserved. Jason will explore who our pollinators are, understanding pollinator needs and what we can do to make and support pollinators in our own yards. This September edition of the course will also include a special focus on pollinator plants for fall.
