Free Fall Webinar: Fundamentals of Pollinator Gardening

6.jpg
Despite the popularity of pollinator gardens, best-practice advice can be confusing, overwhelming, and contradictory. In this talk, we’ll demystify the science behind pollinator gardening. We’ll cover the foundational tenets, then dive into areas of
recent research on hot topics such as cultivars (and nativars), nesting habitat, and leaving leaves—and what it all means for you and your garden. Whether you are a long-time aficionado or a newcomer curious what the hype is about, this talk offers clear,
evidence-based guidance for how to steward a garden that you find beautiful and which also makes a meaningful impact on the natural world. ​ Nick Dorian, Ph.D. (nicholasdorian.com) is a leading voice in the
pollinator garden movement. As an ecologist and educator, Nick studies the science of pollinators and native plants, and helps people find wonder in the world wherever they live. Nick’s work has been featured in leading academic journals, and in venues like USA Today, CBS News, The Boston Globe, and on the Tedx stage. He co-authored and photographed the first field guide to wild bees (watchingbees.com) and teaches an annual course at Eagle Hill Institute on the topic. He received his Ph.D. in Biology from Tufts University, worked as a research fellow at Chicago Botanic Garden, and is currently an Assistant Professor at City College of New York and member of Pollinator Pathways Advisory Board.
What is a Pollinator Pathway?

Public and private pesticide-free corridors of native plants that provide nutrition and habitat for pollinating insects and birds. Even the smallest green spaces, like flower boxes and curb strips, can be part of a pathway.
