SUMMARY:Bee-Friendly Garden - How to Create a Bee Sanctuary in Your Backyard
DESCRIPTION:This class is presented by Guild member Emily Bondor through Cabrillo Extension. \nWould you like to create a beautiful garden and also do your part to save the bees\, all in one? A huge part of keeping honey bees healthy is to ensure they have the plants they need to survive available to them year round. Join Emily for this one-day workshop on bee-friendly gardening by starting the day at Cabrillo for a discussion and presentation on native plants\, drought tolerant plants\, perennial and annual flowering plants and basic bee-friendly landscape design. We’ll then break for lunch and make our way to Native Revival Nursery\, just a few minutes from campus\, where we will walk the grounds to see\, smell and touch some recommended plants for your very own Bee Friendly Garden.
