HERBS FOR POLLINATORS & PEOPLE PLUS ASK THE EXPERT 
SATURDAY, NOV. 18, 2023 9:30 - 11:30 AM
ANGELA CHANDLER
ZOOM LIVE CLASS
$20

Insects might conjure up images of creepy crawlies to some of us, but insects serve many functions in the garden, with pollination being one of the primary benefits. Herbs naturally attract beneficial insects by offering a variety of flowers for nectar and essential oils. Some herbs can also repel pest species. Working herbs into your landscape properly can make a difference to who you are inviting in. Overall, herbs create a healthier, more diverse landscape for you and the insects you really need.

This class will follow a slightly different format, being a little more relaxed and followed by an extensive Q & A period with Angela. Get your questions ready and join us.
