# Event Details - **Event Name**: Planting for Specialist Pollinators - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am – Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 12:00 pm - **Event Description**: Date: June 23rd 2026 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Price: $39 Location: Mt. Cuba Center 3120 Barley Mill Rd, Hockessin, DE 19707 Specialist pollinators need our help more than ever. While generalist bees and butterflies can use a wide range of plants, many caterpillars, bees, and other insects rely on very specific native species for food, shelter, and reproduction. When those plants disappear from our landscapes, the pollinators that depend on them disappear as well. In this class, you’ll learn how to make a meaningful difference right in your own backyard. Discover the essential trees, shrubs, and wildflowers that support specialist pollinators—and how even small additions to your garden can create vital habitat. Instructor Leah Brooks will introduce a diverse selection of native perennials and highlight the remarkable relationships between these plants and the specialist species that rely on them for survival. The class includes a guided garden walk with Leah, where you’ll see these plants in person and observe how they function in a living landscape. Leave inspired, informed, and ready to support specialist pollinators through thoughtful, impactful plant choices. This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Tuesday, June 23, 2026.
