AT: Gardening for Birds, Butterflies and Other Pollinators

As birds, butterflies, and bees become increasingly imperiled, more homeowners are creating gardens to nurture and sustain pollinators. These dynamic gardens not only support wildlife but also provide an attractive and healthy environment for people. Master gardener and naturalist Glenn Olsen explains which wildflowers, flowering shrubs, fruit trees, and even vegetables offer food and shelter for pollinators. Learn to create an outdoor oasis for yourself and for pollinating creatures. The class includes a field trip to the Rice University Betty and Jacob Friedman Holistic Garden, the Urban Pocket Prairie and the Lynn Lowery Arboretum. Co-sponsored by Houston Audubon. Five classes on Thursday afternoons beginning on March 21, 2019. Field trip on Thursday, May 2, 2019.
