Thank you to guest speaker Helen Battersby, who joined us on Earth Day to discuss Unexpected Pollinators. It was an informative presentation with stunning visuals. We have included a few slides from Helen’s presentation. One big takeaway: wait to clean up your garden until nighttime temps are over 10 degrees. Many pollinators overwinter in the garden debris.
