Creating Pollinator Habitat Anywhere

with Master Gardener Denise Guérin.

The first part of this presentation reviews some pollinator basics: what exactly are pollinators, why are they so important, and why do we hear so much about them?  We then explore what pollinators need and are looking for when choosing where to rest, eat, or lay their eggs–in other words “Habitat”!  We talk about the importance of habitat, what it is, and how to create and maintain some inviting habitat for pollinators just about anywhere at all!  Specifically, the presentation illustrates successful pollinator habitats created in places as different as suburban gardens to apartment decks, and small urban yards and patios to parking lot “hell strips.”
