Planting for Beneficial Insects: How to Make a Habitat Garden

June 17, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 1:30 pm

Summer 2022 Webinar Series for Home Gardeners in Sacramento County 
Planting for Beneficial Insects: How to Make a Habitat Garden – Tora Rocha. Learn how to build a pollinator friendly habitat garden with native and locally-sourced plants. A large number of flowering plants rely on an animal for pollination, successful seed set, and fruit growth. Even self-fertile plants like tomatoes or plants that are typically wind-pollinated, like grapes can benefit from animal “vectors”—animals that help to transport pollen. Hear about the 1800+ California native bees that pollinate 75% of the food we eat. Understand the life cycle of the pollinators in relation to your eco-friendly landscaping practices. Even the smallest yards have room for a bee hotel!

About the webinar series: ReScape is offering three great webinars for home gardeners that are addressing the drought, water savings and habitat protection. These free, two and ½ hour workshops will teach you the basics of transforming your yard into a beautiful, vibrant, and regenerative garden. Experts will share real examples, pitfalls to avoid, design, installation and maintenance tips, and the multitude of benefits an eco-friendly garden provides. Sponsored by ReScape supporter, the SSQP (Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership (SSQP), this great series will help you plant a garden that protects your local waterways from the impacts of urban run-off that flows untreated from storm drains to creeks, streams and rivers.
