with author Uli Lorimer
Do straight native species provide more for insects than cultivars? Is genetic diversity crucially important in ecological horticulture? Learn more about the evolving research behind gardening for wildlife from Uli Lorimer, Director of Horticulture for the Native Plant Trust & author of the Native Plant Primer.
With native bee expert Sam Droege
Author and renowned bee expert Sam Droege takes us on a deep dive into the relationship between native plants and native bees. Discover why native bees are so important and how our landscaping practices impact these keystone species. Learn more about the plants needed by our rarest “specialist” bees who gather pollen from a single family, genus, or even a single plant species, and are most in need of conservation.
with Dr. Desirée Narango
Learn from Dr. Desiree L. Narango about which plant species and traits are best for supporting interactions with pollinating insects and songbirds. A conservation scientist at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies in White River Junction, VT., Dr. Narango's research focuses on understanding how global change impacts bird and insect populations and identifying biodiversity conservation solutions in human-dominated habitats.
