Planting for Pollinators

In Person
September 3

Wednesday, 6:00-8:00PM

Have you ever wished you could see more bees or hummingbirds in your yard? Did you know that Utah has 1,100 native bees?  Do you admire monarch butterflies and have wondered why you hardly see them around anymore?  These questions and so much more will be covered while we walk and talk in the gardens at Red Butte. You can be a source of help for all of our pollinators and get the satisfaction of watching them. This will be a walking tour, so wear good shoes and dress for the weather.
