The gold standard for enhancing pollinator habitat is landscaping with plants grown from the native seeds present in the pollinators’ own ecoregion. The Asheville Botanical Garden’s garden manager, Sarah Coury, will explain ethical seed collection practices, and share seed cleaning, storage, and propagation tips.

Participants are invited to bring native seeds to share and exchange at the end of class!
