SUMMARY:Improving Pollinator Habitat at Home: A Two-Part Online Event
DESCRIPTION:NOFA MASS brings us this timely 2 part Online learning opportunity featuring pollinators: \nDo you want to create a garden that is inviting\, and nourishing\, for people\, and pollinators alike?  In this workshop with Dan Jaffe\, co-author of Native Plants for New England Gardens and longtime ecological horticulturist\, we will focus on successful methods for creating habitats for pollinators and beneficial insects in the landscapes where we live and work. Join us at Pingree School to learn more about: why designing for pollinator health builds resiliency in our local ecosystem\, design components that should be considered in every garden\, which flower shapes and colors attract insects and other features that provide a variety of habitats for beneficial insect.  Join us on May 14th and 16th from 6:00pm to 7:30 for this two-part\, interactive online event. \nJoin NOFA MASS on May 14th and 16th from 6:00pm t0 7:30 for this two-part\, interactive online event to learn all about: \n\nWhy designing for pollinator health builds resiliency in our local ecosystem\nDesign components that should be considered in every garden\nWhich flower shapes and colors attract insects and how to provide for pollinators across the growing season\nPlants and other features that provide a variety of habitats for beneficial insects\nPerennial\, low-maintenance plants that are resistant to diseases and pests\n\nWhen we design our gardens for increased pollinator habitat\, specifically with the addition of perennial plants that add diversity\, we also increase the overall resilience of the gardens.  With many populations of pollinator species on the decline\, it is important to build buffers and organic landscapes that can provide refuge for a variety of organisms. With a bit of knowledge and a selection of low-maintenance native plants\, you can create a beautiful multi-tasking garden that nourishes the needs of humans and supports myriad pollinators. \nInstructor: \nDan Jaffe earned a degree in botany from the University of Maine\, Orono\, an advanced certificate in Native Plant Horticulture and Design from Native Plant Trust (formally New England Wild Flower Society)\, and has years of nursery management and plant sales experience. He is passionate about ecological horticulture\, building both sustainability and wildlife value into every landscape\, and the foraging and cultivation of wild edible plants. He is the Horticulturalist and Propagator for Norcross Wildlife Sanctuary and the staff photographer. His book Native Plants for New England Gardens was released spring of 2018 and will be available for purchase.
