SUMMARY:Plant a Pollinator Paradise with Spriggly’s Beescaping
DESCRIPTION:Have you noticed fewer bees and butterflies? Most people notice it before they can name it. \nThe good news: we can change that with a Saturday of knowledge. \nBrannen and Jill of Spriggly’s Beescaping have spent years creating the habitats pollinators actually need. Learn what to plant and what not to plant\, while you take a dive into the lifecycles of the beneficial creatures you wish to support. \nIn this class\, you’ll cover: \nWhy native plants are the foundation of an effective pollinator garden\, and how they will make a measurable difference for native pollinators that evolved alongside those specific blooms. \nHow to sequence your plantings so something is always flowering\, from the first warm weeks of spring through the last days of fall\nWhen to avoid cleaning up your garden: the case for leaving the leaf litter\, standing/fallen wood\, seed heads\, and more. \nHow to read your existing garden and identify what’s already working\, what’s missing\, and what one or two changes would matter most. \nNo experience level required. No existing garden required either. Come with questions about the space you have\, whether that’s a back acre or a single raised bed. \nYou’ll leave with concrete action steps to take\, and a much better sense of what your garden is actually capable of. \nSpriggly’s Beescaping is a Western North Carolina nature education and habitat restoration business founded by husband-and-wife team Brannen Basham and Jill Jacobs\, with a focus on native plants\, native pollinators\, and pesticide-free gardening. Through workshops\, landscape design\, handmade native bee cabins\, books\, and online courses\, they help individuals and communities create thriving pollinator habitat and reconnect with the natural world.
