Keep them Buzzing: Smart
Gardening for Native Bees
It’s more important than ever to get smarter about what we
plant to provide native bees with food and nesting material. Lori will share
some top tips for growing hardy plants that support several species of bees in
your garden. She will show examples of garden projects that will inspire you to
create your own oasis for our essential pollinators. Lori will also have copies
of her book for sale for $25 each.
Lori
Weidenhammer,
aka Madame Beespeaker, is a
performance-based interdisciplinary artist and educator living in Vancouver,
British Columbia. She is originally from a tiny hamlet called Cactus Lake,
Saskatchewan. It is in this place, bordered by wheat fields and wild prairie,
that she first became enchanted with bees. She is the author of an
award-winning book called Victory
Gardens for Bees: A DIY Guide to Saving the Bees published by Douglas and MacIntyre.
Lori works with students of all ages on eating locally and gardening for
pollinators. On occasion, she likes to dress up in silly costumes and talk to
bees.
