Eileen Stark, author of Real Gardens Grow Natives, will share tips for designing your garden to support pollinators and incorporate native plants.

Pollinators are essential, hardworking and fascinating, with amazing abilities, but they face a wide range of threats. Join author and eco-landscape designer Eileen Stark to learn about their lives and needs. Discover how to welcome, support, and protect them throughout all of their life cycles by restoring native habitat, using ecological design principles, and eliminating toxins and other hazards. The essence of a successful garden lies not only in its ability to look beautiful, but also in its capacity to nurture life that’s in danger of being lost forever.
