Celebrate Pollinators

  • Saturday, June 25, 2016, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

One out of every three bites of food you eat made it to your plate thanks to a pollinator! You can support pollinators like bees, butterflies, birds, and more by creating a bee-friendly backyard habitat. Join Cornell Cooperative Extension educators and Master Gardener Volunteers to learn how you can create habitat for pollinators in your garden. We’ll be observing pollinators in our demonstration beds at the Tilly Foster Community Garden and discussing pollinator-friendly landscape practices that you can use in your home landscape. From beginning backyard gardener to landscape expert, you’ll come away with some cool pollinator facts and garden savvy planting ideas. We’ll help you take the fear out of bees by showing you the differences between wasps, hornets, and pollinating bees. What’s more, we’ll send you home with some milkweed seeds so you can create your own backyard pollinator oasis. Dress appropriately for weather conditions; we will be outside in the garden.
