Every fall we are told to bag up and ship away our leaves. In this presentation you’ll learn about the importance of fallen leaves, how you can use your leaves around our gardens, and why they’re a critical in the survival of our pollinators.

Get inspired!

🐝Now is a great time to re-examine your garden and think about what you want to change for next year. This graphic from the USDA Forest Service has a great checklist of topics to consider for your planning!

Some highlights:
🐝Bee Bountiful. Plant big patches of each plant species for better foraging efficiency.
🐝Bee Showy. Flowers should bloom in your garden throughout the growing season. Plant willow, violet, and mayapple for spring and aster, joe-pye w**d and goldenrod for fall flowers.
🐝Bee Diverse. Plant a diversity of flowering species with abundant pollen and nectar and specific plants for feeding butterfly and moth caterpillars.
🐝Bee Chemical Free. Pesticides and herbicides kill pollinators.
🐝Bee Aware. Observe pollinators when you walk outside in nature. Notice which flowers attract bumble bees or solitary bees, and which attract butterflies.

OMG this menu was so delicious! It was a special Juneteenth celebration class honoring the flavorings of African American Cuisine and learning how Foods fight Cancer. No cholesterol or suffering in this meal...only flavor. Barbecue Portobello mushrooms, potato salad, baked beans and a refreshing watermelon strawberry smoothie. It was pure YUM!
