Gardening for Pollinators: Thurs, May 16 from 7:15pm – 8:30pm
Learn how you can support the health & number of pollinators in your garden! Greg Cada will teach us about the types of pollinators in our area and their role for plant life, food supply and economy.
Important Ohio pollinators such as honey bees, bumble bees and monarch butterflies have recently gained attention due to declining populations. Fortunately, gardeners can take steps to support these and other pollinators through plant selection and simple gardening practices.
This presentation was created by a partnership between the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems, and The Ohio State University Bee Lab and Pollinatarium.
