Maine is home to more than 270 native bees and a diverse array of other key pollinator species from iridescent beetles to innocent wasps. Declines of insects, native bees and birds are well-documented and habitat loss is a significant driver of those declines. Horticulture Professional Kate Garland will offer practical tips for gardeners to be able to provide food, habitat and water resources to stem this decline. Garland will offer a special focus on native plants and weave in best landscape management practices as well.
