Pollinator Gardens as Habitats for Urban Biodiversity

Urban gardens can be significant sources of biodiversity if planted and managed properly. Can we restore native biodiversity one yard at a time? Let’s start with pollinator gardens. Native wildflowers attract colorful butterflies, happy bees of all sizes, and dainty little hummingbirds. The flowers are showy and attractive, and the vegetation provides cover for a lot of small wildlife such as garden birds, rabbits, chipmunks, and insects. Insects and other tiny critters on the plants, on the ground, and under the ground, generate a spectacularly diverse food web. Overall, a pollinator garden can make your yard a microcosm of urban wildlife. Come and join this webinar to learn why we need more pollinator gardens, and how we can create them.
