- **Event Description**: Native plants are important in attracting pollinators, of all types to your garden. But what do you do once you have these wonderful life forms visiting your plants and looking to make a permanent home in your growing areas? By incorporating native plants which provide food, nesting, and overwintering shelter, you create habitat. Learn about the many ways in which native plants can become central to the long-term biodiversity needs in your garden. A hands-on activity of sowing native plant seeds will follow the presentation. Open to all skill levels. Please note: There is a $5 materials fee to cover the cost of planting materials. This fee is waived for University of Maine students.
