Urban Ag Workshop: Native Plants and Pollinators
Urban Ag Workshop: Native Plants and Pollinators
Saturday, September 23rd, 11am - 12:30pm
@ The Somerville Community Growing Center (22 Vinal Ave)
In this 90-minute workshop, you will learn all about pollination in urban environments from the perspective of both plants and bees. For the first half, we’ll focus on native bee diversity, biology, and their decline and conservation. Later, you’ll learn how these bees interact with plants in your urban garden and how to ensure that they visit your garden throughout the year. There will be a short demonstration at the end about how to build your own native bee house.
The workshop will be led by Nick Dorian, a Tufts University PhD student. He has studied and raised bumble bees for three years and is an enthusiastic urban gardener.
