Tree Talk Tuesday - Woody Plants for Pollinators
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET
Webinar
Description: We often think of herbaceous plants when we think of pollinators, as these plants fill our gardens all summer with brightly colored flowers. But trees are also an excellent pollen source for pollinators, not just the bees! Be introduced to many species of woody plants appropriate for many landscape spaces!
