Bee Buffet
Learn about garden herbs and other basic plants that attract and feed honey and native bees. It's easy to tuck a few plants that benefit the bees into garden corners and into containers. They're pretty and also serve a purpose for our beleaguered bee friends. This is first in a series of classes about plantings that benefit pollinators. Keep your eyes open for our "How to Grow Butterflies" class in June.
