The Power of Pollinators @ Lewis Ginter

Pollinators and their choices have a powerful impact on our local ecosystem. They pick which flowers to pollinate, therefore deciding which plants get to form a fruit with seeds and reproduce. Without pollinators, entire terrestrial food webs and ecosystems would collapse. Fortunately, there is still a lot we can do to protect and support the pollinators. In this class, we will foster a love and appreciation for our pollinating friends. We will discuss various methods to support local wildlife by supporting pollinators and the overall food web. Participants will each receive a special mix of native plant seeds collected from Clara’s garden so they can start or add on to a pollinator garden at home! Come learn how to make a positive difference in the natural world with like-minded individuals!
