Event Description

Pollinators do so much more than help flowers bloom—they’re essential to healthy ecosystems, productive gardens, and resilient landscapes.
Pollinator Gardening: Bees, Butterflies & Beneficial Bugs is a practical, eye-opening class designed to help gardeners create spaces that support pollinators and look beautiful doing it.

This class goes beyond planting a few flowers and hoping for the best. You'll learn how to support the full life cycle of beneficial insects—from nectar and pollen sources to nesting habitat and overwintering shelter.

We’ll highlight plants that pull double-duty—species that are both beautiful and beneficial to bees, butterflies, and other helpers.
You'll learn how to choose plants that thrive in mountain conditions while feeding and sheltering pollinators all season long.

We'll also cover:

  • Common pollinator pitfalls and how to avoid them

  • The role of soil health, water use, and seasonal care in building healthy habitats

  • How to garden with balance and biodiversity in mind

Whether you're adding a few plants to an existing garden or creating a habitat from scratch, this class will help you garden with intention and ecological impact.

You'll leave with a clearer understanding of how pollinators live, what they need, and how your garden can give back to the ecosystem—one plant at a time.
