ADULT COMMUNITY EDUCATION | WORKSHOP | 2 HOURS
During this workshop discover what all the buzz is about our pollinators -- learn about native pollinators, their importance to ecosystems and our food supply, and the issues they are facing. Find out how these bees and butterflies and birds like to live and what they like to eat with practical information on creating a garden in the Victoria region that will be a pollinator paradise.
And if the flowers are blooming, we will learn how to identify some of the common pollinators in your garden and take a stroll to see who is buzzing around.
Your registration includes all-day admission to the Gardens at HCP (9:00-3:30 last entry)

Instructor Bio: Emony Nicholls
Emony has worked as an environmental consultant, entrepreneur and biologist for over 25 years.
For seven of those years, she owned and operated a native plant nursery in Ontario growing plants for, designing, and installing ecological restoration projects in the most easterly tallgrass prairie in North America.
Her graduate research was on the connection between pollinators and plants and how that relationship drives the evolution of plants. As part of her work, she did taxonomic identification of native pollinators during graduate school and fell in love with them for their diversity and individual beauty.
Emony is on a mission to empower homeowners on how to support pollinators by providing habitats in our own back yards. In 2020 she left work with the provincial government as a biologist and now lives and works on Salt Spring Island.
