Beescaping and Ecosystems
Join us in giving a huge welcome to an author whose book we stock in our Gift Shop, Jill Jacobs! Jill and her husband have dedicated their writing and research to native bees and native plants of North America, mainly how anyone (yes, anyone!) can foster spaces for pollinators and other beneficial insects in their own backyards. Register for the workshop here.
