"Landscape Design for Pollinators" with Jane Sorensen Jane Sorensen, co-owner of River Berry Farm in Fairfax, VT, Northeast Pollinator Plants owner, landscape architect and UVM Adjunct will be our guest speaker. “As we domesticate the landscape, it is up to us domesticators to create habitat for pollinators in our own landscapes. Learn about what makes a good pollinator habitat and the various forms they can take, from meadows to formal gardens.” Jane will share her extensive list of habitat plants and suggest where you can find seeds, plants and more information to empower you to enhance your pollinator landscape.
