GARDENING WITH POLLINATORS with Melody Granillo

June 9th, 6:30PM to 8:30PM

Encompass Child Development Center

Discover the fascinating world of our local pollinators and the essential role they play in our gardens and ecosystems. This presentation explores the diverse pollinators found in our region and how their unique abilities support plant reproduction and garden productivity, with special attention to the challenges facing honey bees. Learn practical ways to create a more pollinator-friendly landscape, reduce common threats to pollinators, and foster a healthy productive yard. Whether you grow vegetables, flowers, or simply enjoy watching nature at work, you’ll leave with ideas and inspiration for supporting pollinators while enhancing the beauty and vitality of your garden.

Non-members are welcome with suggested $5.00 donation.

Many thanks to all who attended our Spring Fundraiser!

A special thank you to Christina Salwitz, who inspired us with examples of her visually impactful container designs, and provided us with some amazing plant combinations for our own gardens.
