Prescott Valley Public Library-New Event-Master Gardener Pollinators in the Garden, In-person program, June 13th, 2024.

Prescott Valley Public Library will be hosting a program on Pollinators in the Garden in partnership with Yavapai County Master Gardeners on Thursday, June 13th, 2024, from 5:30 to 6:45 pm. We are excited to welcome you to this class, where we will learn about the different pollinators in the garden. There are over 1,100 native species of bees in Arizona, with lifestyles that are very different from honeybees, in addition to other types of pollinators. Understanding them can help us find ways to tweak our garden, landscaping, and farming practices to be more inclusive and supportive of our native bees. Learn how to identify them, provide suitable habitat and food sources, how mulching, tilling, winter cleanup, and other common garden practices can destroy native bee habitats, and what you can do to enhance the survival of these vital creatures. Discover: * Various types of pollinators * Native Bees Lifestyles & Habitats * Creating a native bee habitat in your yard * Shrubs and plants that attract bees & beneficial insects Presenter: Laurin Pause Laurin became a Master Gardener in 2019 and has served as the Speakers Bureau Chair for the past two years.
