Harlequin’s Gardens Class: Pollinators & the Plants They Love with Andrea Montoya

Harlequin's Gardens 4795 N. 26th St, Boulder, CO, United States

Colorado is home to at least 1000 Native Bees, scores of beetles, butterflies, dragon flies and more. But their numbers are declining, in large part because they have little or no access to the plants they love and need to survive. Learn what those plants are with insight into how and when to plant them so that the pollinating insects of Colorado have a chance to once again thrive. We will cover specific pollinating insects and flowering plants for both.

Treehouse Learning 175 N 96th St, Louisville, CO 80027

Harlequin’s Gardens Class: How to Build a Habitat for Pollinators with Andrea Montoya

Harlequin's Gardens 4795 N. 26th St, Boulder, CO, United States

Colorado is home to thousands of pollinating insects and they need habitat in which they can live and thrive. With the loss of so much native habitat that has given way to roads., developments and more, it is up to us to create safe and nurturing environments for them to live in. Growing native flowering plants is a huge step in the right direction but we can do more—and it isn’t very hard. Come learn about these wondrous creatures and how you can transform your space into a haven for all the little, beautiful, creatures.

Common Ground Film Screening

eTown Hall 1535 Spruce Street, Boulder

Join us for a screening of the new film "Common Ground"! About the film: “Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, Kiss the Ground, which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. Common Ground profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late.”
