Saturday August 30, 2008 Pollination Gardens to Attract Bees, 9 AM – 12 noon @ the honey house, Ferrisburgh. Annie Watson and Todd Hardie will discuss how to plant gardens that support bees. Assess your yard and garden to see what vegetables, flowers, “weeds”, and trees you already grow that provide nectar and pollen. Make plans to encourage what is there and to add more next year, so that honey bees and other pollinators will have food sources throughout the spring, summer, and fall. The workshop will include a walking tour of the nectar and pollen gardens and bee hives at Honey Gardens. Bring a bag lunch if you would like to stay for further discussion. Sponsored by NOFA/Northeast organic Farming Association of Vermont, www.nofavt.org
