Native Plants for Native Wildlife

Key steps toward cultivating biodiversity conservation in our gardens
Speaker: Desiree Narango
FREE Zoom Webinar

January is here and that can only mean one thing – it’s time to start ramping up for Spring! GSWA is offering a 4-part Native Pollinator Plant Webinar Series as we lead up to our 3rd annual Plants for Pollinator online sale. We are fortunate to have Desiree Narango, Conservation Scientist with the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, to kick things off.

Desiree will speak on the fascinating complexity of plant-animal interactions. This is your opportunity to learn more about the breadth of research which shows how native plants, and the pollinators and insects that feed upon them, are the foundation for cultivating food webs and encouraging biodiversity in our yards, patios, school grounds, and other privately-managed green spaces. You’ll leave knowing more about why native plants are crucial to sustaining biodiversity and specific plant species that are important for supporting specialist pollinators and songbirds.

You will receive the webinar Zoom link via email prior to the start of the program.

Mark your calendar for the 3 remaining webinars in this 4-part series and the start of the plant sale:

Feb 21, 7-8 PM – Wasps: The Astonishing Diversity of a Misunderstood Insect

Mar 21, 7-8 PM – What’s the Buzz About Native Bees?

Apr 3, 1:30 PM – Native Plants for Pollinators online sale opens Apr 3 @ 1:30 PM and runs through Apr 28 @ 5 PM (Plant purchase pickup date is Saturday, May 6)
