In Your Garden: Planning for Pollinators

Service Description

Pollinator-friendly gardens are necessarily flower-filled gardens, making us happy and supporting bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial flies. We will look for and identify pollinators in the Frog Hollow gardens and fields, and talk about the needs and lifecycles of these insects and birds. This basic class will identify flowering plants for our area that are attractive to them and will cover how to put them together for a long season of bloom- for gardens that cater to pollinators needs. This talk will show you how look at your garden with new eyes. Taught by Kate Frey, who is a well-known garden designer, pollinator advocate, and garden educator. She designed noted gardens in California such as the organic public garden at Fetzer Vineyards, Lynmar Winery and the Melissa Garden in Healdsburg. Her gardens won two gold medals and one silver-gilt medal at the Chelsea Flower Show in London, a rare honor for an American designer. She has created gardens in Malaysia and Japan and managed an organic farm in Saudi Arabia. Kate is a regular garden columnist and writer. Her book "The Bee-Friendly Garden" was selected as one of the best 2017 gardening books of the year. Her book, "Ground Rules" was published by Workman Publishing in 2018. Kate has a B.A. in English. NO REFUNDS—but you may gift your class to a friend if you are unable to attend.
