Michael O'Loughlin: Fall planting for pollinators
September 28th, 2023 at 7:30pm on Zoom
​
Are you planning on a installing a pollinator garden that supports our native bees? Fall is the best time to plant as it gives plants time to establish themselves, and some are fully settled by the following summer. Peak planting time in most of Washington is from late September through early October or so, with grasses going in earlier in September for extra rooting time. Spend an hour with Michael talking about pollinator garden planning and what native bees you might be able to attract.
