Pollinators and the Gardens that Feed Them,

Prepare for the spring with an informative talk given by Jean Vose, an experienced Master Gardener and certified horticulturist. Considering the growing concern over the recent loss and disappearance of honeybees and other pollinators across the world, many backyard enthusiasts are rediscovering a relatively simple and fun way to assist the honeybee and other essential pollinators. By providing a pollinator habitat in the yard, one can increase the quality and quantity of their garden fruits and vegetables. The talk will include how to attract pollinators of all kinds through creating environments that support them, as well as eco-friendly tips. Jean Vose has been a Master Gardener since 1994, has been active in the Maine Master Gardener program for 23 years, and was an active backyard beekeeper for over 30 years. The talk will take place at the Goodwin Conservation Center. (This talk has been rescheduled from February 17 to March 16) Reach out to adampdrouin@gmail.com with any questions.
