Pollinator Garden Design

This garden design program shows you how to use a pollen chart to determine what plants give the most nectar and pollen during spring, summer, and fall, in order to provide the most nourishment for beneficial pollinators, including honeybees and our native bees. 

Plant selection criteria highlights native plants and includes an aesthetic-only garden, an edible and/or healing herbal garden, or a mix. Learn also how best to prepare for winter to support and protect pollinator populations.

This program is presented by Oliver Couto of The Bee Shop.
