Establishing a Bee Lawn (Growing Together Educational Series)
Advertisement
Our monthly Growing Together educational series programs are free and open to the public.
This month’s event consists of a 1-hour pre-recorded webinar followed by free treats and an opportunity to socialize.
*November 10 program: Establishing a Bee Lawn*
You may have heard of “No-mow May” with the goal of not mowing lawns in May to allow for early-season flowers to bloom for pollinators. Because turf grass alone doesn’t provide food for pollinators, an even more proactive way to provide food resources for pollinators is to intentionally incorporate flowers in your lawn that have the right type of nectar and pollen for bees - a “Bee Lawn”. In this presentation, you will hear from University of Minnesota researcher Kristine Moncada on the research behind bee lawns, about the best bee lawn plant species, how to establish and maintain bee lawns, and much more.
