Julie O’Donald is a Backyard Wildlife Habitat Steward, garden naturalist and citizen scientist with over 30 years experience creating wildlife friendly gardens. She has focused on the use of native plants in the home landscape and the benefits that specific native plants offer to wildlife. Julie’s habitat garden has been featured in Pacific Horticulture, The Butterfly Gardener, and Sunset magazine. Bombus occidentalis, the Western bumble bee, was found in Julie’s garden in 2012 and 2013. In this presentation she will discuss landscape features and native plants that support healthy pollinator populations. This workshop starts indoors with a PowerPoint presentation and then goes outside where you will visit examples of plants and pollinators in the garden.
