Bees, butterflies and other pollinators have been struggling because there are not enough food plants for them in our lawn-centric gardens and because a lot of the “pollinator-friendly” plants we purchase for them have, in fact, been drenched in insecticidal neonicotiniods which get into all parts of the plants and can remain for months or years, poisoning the pollinators we are trying to attract and nourish.
In this class, we will learn about the problem and we will learn how to start seeds of plants that will attract and feed pollinators and other insects. Participants will leave with seeded 6-packs of beautiful, insect-safe plants to raise and grow in their own gardens.
