“Come with me on a journey – a story of gardens that move from purely decorative to ones that now serve important ecological functions. When we tune in to our many wisdom keepers of the day, we are energized and understand that we can make changes in our own backyards that enhance the lives of not only ourselves and our families but also our pollinators and birds.”

Megan Meyer, Master Gardener and Co-Lead of Color Penfield Green, will be offering this program. Paul Hawken, Richard Louv, Doug Tallamy, and stories from Robin Wall Kimmerer in Braiding Sweetgrass have touched this gardener deeply. The science and heart of the matter point toward a better way of caring for our yards. Come join her on this journey and take it home to start your own reconnections one plant at a time.

A presentation on raising gentle mason bees for backyards and gardeners. The presentation includes lecture, slides, videos, nesting material displays, question and answer sessions, and a harvesting demo. The events will probably take at least an hour but not more than two.

This event requires registration, availability is limited to 15 Zoom connections per presentation and is open to adults and children preferably age 12 and older. Registrations are $2.00 per Zoom connection, but donations of more are deeply appreciated. Note: There is no restrictions on how many people can share a physical device for a connection. In other words, if you have 2 or more people who can be physically present with you when you connect, that is fine.
