How to Design Bee-Friendly Flower Gardens

Thu, Sep 13th 2018, 6:00pm - 7:30pm
St. Helena Montessori School Barn, 800 College Ave, St. Helena

Flower-filled gardens make us happy, support many species of bees and much other biodiversity beneficial to our gardens and our lives. We all desire our gardens to be full of color and interest for many months of the year, yet what flowers appeal to which bees and why? How can we put them together in compositions that work well with the parameters of our site, in combinations that suit us, and cater to bee’s needs? This talk will show you how to look at your garden with new eyes, and how to create beautiful and inspirational landscapes that will forever transform your relationship with your yard.

We will also have a chance to walk through the gardens and look at bee plants on the property. 

Potluck reception to follow. Please bring a dish to share.

 

Admission: $5-15, sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds.
