Inspiring Biodiversity in Our Gardens
Virtual Symposium
Free
Western Reserve Land Conservancy, The Cleveland Pollinator and Native Plant Symposium and Nature Spark are pleased to announce the return of their collaborative series, Inspiring Biodiversity in Our Gardens. The symposium features nationally and regionally renowned experts to help viewers create vibrant, ecologically resilient gardens and greenspaces that benefit pollinators and wildlife. This series will inspire homeowners, horticulturists, botanists, naturalists, educators, conservationists, landscape designers, and others to learn more about the value of using native plants and trees to create and maintain healthy habitats.
The free virtual series will feature presentation intended to guide you in creating gardens that benefit pollinators and other wildlife. Join us and explore the importance of restoring our increasingly fragmented and disappearing native habitats beginning in our own backyards—whether large or small.
This symposium is organized by Ann Cicarella of the Cleveland Pollinator and Native Plant Symposium, Judy Semroc of Nature Spark and Renee Boronka at Western Reserve Land Conservancy.
