Pollination is as essential to growing food crops as sun, water, and soil. One out of every three bites of food is possible because of pollinators! Unfortunately, pollinators are in decline due to habitat loss, diseases, pesticides, and climate change. Learn how to identify insects, attract beneficial pollinators and natural enemies, and use safer pest management practices in your landscape and community!

Please visit your local Master Gardener Program for program details.
