Native plants are integral to an
effective pollinator garden
design. Based on functions
within the ecosystem, the
speaker will explore the
interrelationships between
plants, pollinators, other
insects and animals. The goal is to allow you to design pollinator gardens, thereby leveraging California’s wealth of biodiversity into more resilient and beautiful landscapes.
