Event Details

Join us for a walk and talk in our demonstration garden to learn how to use colorful plants to support native bees and other pollinators!

*SIGN UPS DOWN BELOW*

We will also discuss other habitat features to support native bees and other pollinators. They need our help, and you can make a difference in your yard!

Participants will learn:

• Our favorite native plants and plant combinations for year-round blooms to support pollinators
• Special ways to support “ground nesting” native pollinators
• DIY projects to create nesting locations for “cavity nesting” pollinators
• About our other resources including garden design templates for native pollinator gardens

Each participant will be able to select a native wildflower seed packet of their choice to take home.

After the workshop concludes, for those who wish to stay, we will be offering a raffle give-away of some of our favorite waterwise California native plants. We will also tell you a bit about each one, why it is one of our favorites, and the garden situations in which it is likely thrive.

Our instructor for this workshop will be Scott Kleinrock, Conservation Programs Manager here at Chino Basin Water Conservation District and the Waterwise Community Center.

Scott has been working in horticulture for almost 20 years, focused on both the design and ongoing care of sustainable native or edible landscapes in Southern California at the residential and public garden scales. He has a master’s degree in landscape architecture for Cal Poly Pomona and was previously the Landscape Design and Planning Coordinator at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens.
