Pollinate New England is an initiative to raise awareness of the steep decline in the insects, birds, and other animals that pollinate our plants and crops, and to encourage people to use native plants in their gardens to create habitat for these critical species. Attend a local, hands-on gardening installation workshop on Wednesday, July 11 from 1 – 4 with Mark Richardson, Director of the New England Wild Flower Society, and Annie White, horticultural research at University of Vermont and owner of NECTAR Landscape Design Studio, to learn about the plight of pollinators and the great garden plants native to your eco-region that best support them. Free. The workshop will take place at the South Shore Natural Science Center, 48 Jacobs Lane in Norwell, Massachusetts, which is a co-sponsor of the event.
