Growing a Garden for Beauty and Biodiversity   

This is a lecture course presented from an artistic and amateur scientific point of view and is designed to appeal to all levels of pollinator, bird, wildlife, and general gardening enthusiasts. Based on the premise that great beauty can be achieved while simultaneously increasing biodiversity, students will be presented with steps needed to create multi-seasonal pollinator and wildlife habitat that will enhance not only the beauty of their property, but also re-create the natural biodiversity of their communities. Students learn the basics to qualify their garden for certification as a monarch butterfly way-station or pollinator site. Students need not have a garden to participate or enjoy this class. No textbook is required. Recommended: “Real Gardens Grow Natives,” by Eileen Stark, “Soil Building,” by Elizabeth Murphy, “Nature’s Best Hope,” by Douglas Tallamy.
