Join us for our in-person monthly meeting! Note that this meeting is on Thursday rather than the usual Tuesday, due to a conflict with Veteran’s Day.

Our speaker will be Ann-Marie Benz, Horticulture Programs Manager for the California Native Plant Society. She’ll be speaking about Buzz-Worthy Blooms: California Native Plants for Honey Bees.

Curious about which California native plants can support your honey bees year-round? Join us to dive into regionally appropriate native flora that offers support for your hives. You’ll leave with information on how to put together plant lists, garden tips, and a better understanding of how native plants benefit both your bees and the broader pollinator community.

Ann-Marie is the Horticulture and Stewardship Programs Manager for CNPS, where she gets to spend her days supporting native plant communities and their people. She has spent a decade and a half serving landscapes and watersheds with nonprofits in California and Arizona.

(New beekeepers, please come for the “newbee” round table meeting from 7:00-7:30 — get your questions answered in a small, friendly group.)
