Event Description
Pollinators do so much more than help flowers bloom—they’re essential to healthy ecosystems, productive gardens, and resilient landscapes. Pollinator Gardening: Bees, Butterflies & Beneficial Bugs is a practical, eye-opening class designed to help gardeners create spaces that support pollinators and look beautiful doing it. This class goes beyond planting a few flowers and hoping for the best. We’ll explore how to support the full life cycle of beneficial insects, from nectar and pollen sources to nesting habitat and overwintering shelter. You’ll learn why pollinators need more than blooms—and how small design choices can make a big impact. We’ll highlight plants that pull double-duty: species that are visually striking and highly beneficial to bees, butterflies, and other helpful insects. You’ll learn how to choose plants that thrive in mountain conditions while providing food and habitat throughout the growing season. Along the way, we’ll talk through common pollinator pitfalls—well-meaning gardening practices that can accidentally do more harm than good—and how to avoid them. We’ll also discuss how soil health, water use, and seasonal garden care all play a role in creating balanced, buzzing ecosystems. Education comes first, with approachable, actionable guidance you can apply immediately. Whether you’re adding a few pollinator plants to an existing garden or dreaming of a full habitat-focused landscape, this class will help you garden with intention and impact. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how pollinators live, what they need, and how your garden can become a thriving, balanced habitat that gives back to the ecosystem with every plant you put in the ground.
