How to Design Bee-Friendly Flower Gardens

Saturday, April 30th from 10:00am to 12:00pm

in the Gardens Meeting Room with MCBG Board Member, Kate Frey

 

Flower-filled gardens make us happy and can support many species of bees and much other biodiversity beneficial to our gardens. We all desire our gardens to be full of color and interest for many months of the year, yet what flowers appeal to which bees and why? How can we put them together in compositions that work well with the parameters of our site and in color combinations that suit us, and cater to bee’s needs for many months of the year? This class offers many colorful examples of flower filled gardens that support bees.

Kate Frey is a noted garden designer and consultant. She specializes in the creation of sustainable, organic, habitat gardens that reflect the climate conditions, soil and biodiversity of their locations and provide abundant habitat for pollinators through all four seasons of the year. Her recently published book on the subject—The Bee-Friendly Garden—will be available to purchase after the class.

 

Class costs: $10 for members and Master Gardeners  |  $20 for non-members (payment due upon sign-up), Includes Gardens admission for the day!
