Pollinators are a very important topic at the moment in the world of horticulture. Gardeners and consumers alike are most interested in helping them (particularly the decline in the bee population) and planting shrubs/trees/flowers to attract them to the landscape.
This PowerPoint presentation begins with a short overview about pollination and why it is important, then goes on to target ways in which we can help the pollinators and how this can be accomplished. It notes what is best to do and what practices to avoid. Geri Jones, owner of Churchill Gardens, will welcome a question and answer period at the end. The presentation includes handouts to use as handy reference guide listing various trees/shrubs/flowers that are most beneficial.
