Pollinators and Biodiversity in Your Garden!

The Newport Garden Club presents -

• Sara Wuerstle of Ocean Hour Farm, working to regenerate ecosystems because healthy soils lead to healthy seas;
• Kate Venturini Hardesty of URI’s Cooperative Extension, translating scientific findings into practical advice for everyday people;
• Catherine Weaver, creating regenerative, resilient and sustainable landscapes for her clients with native plants.

Did you know … pollinators include bees, wasps, birds, butterflies, moths, flies and even some small mammals, including bats? Did you know the important role pollinators play in our environment and food systems? We will hear from outstanding experts addressing questions such as “What can my garden contribute to biodiversity?” “Is there a magic way to attract pollinators?” and “Where should I start with changes in my garden, and my gardening practices?”

Our expert speakers will share tips on choosing the right plants, creating habitats, and maintaining a healthy garden ecosystem. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this event is perfect for anyone looking to make a positive impact on our environment. Come learn about how to shape your garden to help pollinators thrive, and bring your questions about native plants!

Registration is required. There is no charge for this event. Bring your questions. Please, no denim or tee shirts.
