Tuesday, March 27, 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm – Plants for Pollinators
From meadows to mountain tops, our natural areas are often touted as the best places for pollinators and wildlife but what about our gardens? Join Dan Jaffe for a crash course on all things alive in the garden. Ecological gardening techniques, strategies for attracting new pollinators to your landscape, and the best native plants for each site will be discussed. The class is sponsored by the Ecological Landscape Alliance and will take place at Garden in the Woods in Framingham on Tuesday, March 27 from 1 – 4. $40 for ELA members, $48 for nonmembers.
