Growing Climate-Resilient Gardens in the City
March 21, 2023 at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
A lecture presented by the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Holly Gallagher from National Wildlife Federation will discuss what approach the nonprofit organization has taken to growing climate-resilient, native plant gardens in urban environments and how to replicate that in your own backyard or community.
Wildlife gardens attract and support important pollinators such as butterflies, birds, and bees. Pollination is essential to life on Earth; most flowering plants, including fruits and vegetables, depend on pollinators to produce fruit and seeds, yet climate change is threatening the survival of many of these species.
