Create a Pollinator Garden (Wednesday, September 11)

Learn how to create a native, pollinator-supporting wildflower meadow using the Hudson Valley Pollinator Action Guide, a new resource from Partners for Climate Action. Avalon Bunge, Ecological Restoration Projects Manager at PCA, will provide an overview and orientation to the Action Guide, your go-to resource for protecting threatened native pollinators using locally native plant species. Then we’ll dig deeper into site selection, preparation, seeding techniques, where to find the best wildflower seed mixes and more! We’ll talk about establishing and managing meadows at all scales from small lawns to larger fields, using plant species selected to support the Hudson Valley’s most vulnerable native pollinators. We’ll also discuss practical lessons learned from “case study” meadow plantings installed in 2023.

Date/Time: Wednesday, September 11, 5:30 – 6:30pm

Location: In person, Hudson Area Library Community Room

Registration: Registration is appreciated. Reserve your spot: programs@hudsonarealibrary.org or call 518-828-1792 x101.
