Planning for Pollinators - Turn your garden into a pollinator haven

Thursday, June 6, 6:00-7:30 p.m.

Pollinators play an essential role in gardens.  Without them, many of our foods and flowers could not produce.  Dr. Connie Vadheim (CSU Dominguez Hills) will discuss ways to attract a range of native pollinators as part of the gardening series “Out of the Wilds and Into Your Garden” on Thursday, June 6th, 6:00-7:30 p.m. at Gardena Mayme Dear Library, 1731 W. Gardena Blvd., Gardena.  For additional information call (310) 217-0681 or visit www.gardenawillows.org.  This is the only gardening series to feature native plants appropriate for the Gardena/South Bay area – and it’s FREE!  This program is sponsored by the Friends of Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve.
