Creating Pollinator Habitat Anywhere
2024-01-17 13:00 - 14:30 | 54 Walden St.
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.”

Bonnie Power has an MA in Zoology from Boston University and taught college level science courses for over twelve years before leaving teaching for industry. After she retired she began taking courses to augment her love of gardening by working on certification at Garden in the Woods in Framingham and by becoming a certified Master Gardener in the fall of 2016. In 2015 she began volunteering on a Facebook page for insect identification and began learning about insects. Out of these experiences she developed a talk aimed at gardeners to acquaint them with beneficial and pest species of insects and other arthropods.
