Pollinator talk – How to Attract Garden Pollinators – illustrated talk and Q&A session with award winning author Jean Vernon – Wednesday 17^th April 2024 at 7pm
Would you like to know how to support our precious pollinators?
Come and join us for an evening with award winning writer and author Jean Vernon (aka Jeanie Bee).
Jean is on a mission to unravel, demystify and explain the intricate balance of nature and to introduce everyone to the familiar and unfamiliar pollinators (especially bees) that live and breed in our gardens. This is a great chance to find out what to plant for pollinators and how to make small changes with big results in and around your garden to improve pollination and increase your fruit and veg harvest.
Pollinators are in trouble, but our gardens can help. Gardens represent a vast, varied ‘nature reserve’ packed with plants rich in nectar and pollen to sustain these delicate creatures. Learn about the role that pollinators play and how gardeners and people with gardens can do something to help attract and support them.
From butterflies (and their caterpillars) to surprising pollinators (moths, wasps, beetles flies and hornets) and of course including honeybees, hoverflies and bumblebees, this talk will offer an insight into their fragile existence, lifecycles and their vital role in the food chain and the natural cycle.
Tickets include refreshments, an illustrated talk and a Q&A session.
Jean has written two books, Attracting Garden Pollinators and The Secret Lives of Garden Bees, signed copies of both books will be on sale at Ace Arts.
