Our Next Program / Meeting is:
Tuesday, May 21, 2024
Speaker: Denise Guérin, CMMG
Program Title: 'Creating Pollinator Habitat Anywhere'
Meeting Begins @ 1:00pm at The Wakeman Center located in Vineyard Haven / Program Room
GREENHOUSE PLANT SALE for MVGC members with Social Time @ 12:30
Greenhouse Plant Sale from 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Our program, 'Creating Pollinator Habitat Anywhere' - The first part of this presentation
reviews some pollinator basics: what exactly are pollinators,
why are they so important, and why do we hear so much about them? We then explore what pollinators need
and are looking for when choosing where to rest, eat, or lay their eggs--in other words “Habitat”!
We talk about the importance of habitat, what it is, and how to create and maintain some inviting habitat
for pollinators just about anywhere at all! Specifically, the presentation illustrates
successful pollinator habitats created in places as different as suburban gardens to apartment decks,
and small urban yards and patios to parking lot “hell strips.”
Denise's Bio: Denise Guérin is a Certified Massachusetts Master Gardener, graduating in the class of 2022.
She fell in love with gardens (and their contents) at a young age while “helping” her father
and grandmother in their large family gardens. She volunteers regularly at the Wakefield Arboretum,
the Medford Food Pantry Garden, and the MMGA’s new Ohrenberger School
Pollinator Garden. Her primary focus is on growing native plants and creating habitat for
native bees, birds, and insect pollinators. She is a graduate of the MMGA Speakers Bureau Training Program.
FREE to MVGC Members / Open to non-members @ $10.00 pp
Aquinnah/Chilmark members and VP to provide snacks & refreshments
