Gardening for Biodiversity with Native Plants: Providing Habitat for Pollinators, Birds and Other Essential Wildlife

This talk will focus on the current biodiversity crisis; the evolutionary history among native plants, insects, birds and fungi, and how these interdependent relationships among diverse species are necessary for their survival. Amy Meltzer of the Massachusetts Pollinator Network will show how growing native plants and using ecological landscape practices can simultaneously reverse biodiversity loss, increase resilience in our landscapes, and slow climate change - all while creating a beautiful garden!
