LACONIA — Join the Laconia Public Library on Thursday, May 12 from 6:30-8 p.m. for "Growing a Pollinator Garden," with UNH Extension Master Gardener, Donna Miller, to learn how to grow your own pollinator garden. Insects such as bees and butterflies are helpful, and in some cases, essential, in pollinating many of our food crops such as apples, berries, and vegetables. In recent years, there has been a significant decline in the populations of these wild pollinators. Planting patches of flowers, wildflowers, grasses, shrubs, and flowering trees with an emphasis on the use of native plants can encourage and support natural pollinators as well as enhance backyard landscapes. Recommendations for creating a pollinator habitat in your yard will be provided. Donna is an Advanced Master Gardener, specializing in pollinators.

Sign-up is required, as the capacity is limited to 28 people.
