April Speaker Series with Rethinking the Ornamental Garden:
How to create pollinator pathways and resilient flora retreats in your own backyard
Join us at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 24 for a conversation with landscape horticulturist Melanie Mercier about how we can rethink traditional ornamental gardens.
Melanie will discuss efforts to counter the alarming trend of beneficial pollinator populations and native plant decline. We’ll learn some easy steps to consciously optimize our gardening habits into ecologically-minded practices that serve to attract and support pollinators, conserve water, and reduce maintenance. We’ll explore the pollinator species native to the Rossland area and learn how to attract them with beautiful plants that can bridge the gap between the wild and urban landscapes. Melanie aims to plant seeds of change to cultivate a future where humans thrive in harmony with nature. One home garden at a time, we can grow together towards a more sustainable today.
