Jericho Center Pollinator Garden - August 2018
Sabina Ernst of the Jericho Conservation Commission successfully applied for a grant from the Native Plant Trust, and Jericho was chosen for a pollinator garden, workshop and evening lecture on August 2, 2018. The event was sponsored by the Jericho Town Conservation Commission. This is the tenth of twelve Pollinate New England workshops presented by Mark and Annie in New England, the second in Vermont. The goal is to make landscapes more friendly to native pollinators.
