Gardening for bees

Combined with a walk through her garden, Katie will talk about plant selection, habitat creation and other considerations when transforming your yard into a pollinator haven. Many of the same principles apply when creating pollinator habitat elsewhere, though there can be other considerations (questions will be welcomed!)
