Gardening for Birds & Pollinators (Sold Out)

Ever watched a hummingbird hover over a flower and wondered what drew it there? Or noticed a butterfly making a beeline for a specific plant while ignoring the rest? There’s a method to that magic, and it all comes down to what’s growing in your garden.

In this class, Wildflower Center Lead Horticulturist Amy Medley will show you how to turn your yard, no matter how big or small, into a buzzing, fluttering, full-of-life oasis. It’s not just about planting pretty flowers (though that’s a nice bonus). It’s about creating a habitat that truly supports birds, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.

You’ll learn:

• Which native plants attract different pollinators and why they prefer them
• How to provide food, shelter, and nesting spaces that make wildlife stick around
• The role of seasonal blooms and why timing matters
• Simple ways to keep your garden healthy without harming the creatures it’s meant to support

Think of it as designing a neighborhood where pollinators want to live, because when they thrive, so does everything else. Whether you’re working with a balcony garden or a backyard full of potential, this class will help you make the most of it.
