Build a Garden That Works With Nature

If you want a more productive, resilient garden — with fewer pest problems and better yields — it starts with pollinators.

In this live, interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to intentionally plant for pollinators and beneficial insects in a way that works in any growing zone or region. Whether you garden in containers, raised beds, or a full landscape, the principles you’ll learn can be adapted to your space and climate.

This session runs approximately 1 to 1.5 hours and is led by an experienced educator, former Master Gardener, and local nursery owner who combines science-backed knowledge with real-world growing experience. You’ll be able to ask questions and think through your own space during the workshop — this is not a passive lecture.
