Native Bees in the Garden
About this Event
Adrian Ayres Fisher will discuss the importance of native bees in the garden. Native bee populations have declined steeply due to habitat reduction and competition from honey bees. Ms. Fisher will tell us about their life cycles and their importance in pollinating plants. She will also discuss plants and practices that can make your garden a habitat for native bees.
Ms. Fisher is currently the Sustainability Coordinator for Triton College. She volunteers with the Forest Preserve of Cook County and recently completed training to become a Forest Preserve Site Steward. Ms. Fisher is an avid native plant gardener whose garden has been featured in garden walks. She also recently joined the Board of West Cook Wild Ones. Ms Fisher blogs at ecologicalgardening.net and you can follow her on Facebook at Ecological Gardening.
