Learn about pollinator gardens and how you can create one in your own backyard

Every thoughtfully designed garden, no matter how small, can play a huge role in providing the habitat, nourishment, and nesting places so needed by pollinators. This presentation will bring science and art together to guide you through building, renovating, or enhancing your garden to help foster and protect pollinators and create your very own pollinator haven. We will discuss choosing locations, selecting the best plants for pollinators, how to consider seasonality in your garden design, how your landscape can help protect beneficials in your garden, and much more.Dr. Danesha Seth Carley is associate professor of horticultural science at North Carolina State University. Her research and outreach programs for Sustainable Managed Landscapes focus on pollinator protection and habitat conservation. Recent projects include the restoration of historic Pinehurst No. 2 and Pinehurst No. 4 Golf Courses, and the completion of a book entitled: Pollinator Gardening for the South: Creating Sustainable Habitats (out now through the University of North Carolina Press).
