Planting for Pollinators & People
PDF from Desert Green XXIX
Course Summary
The Southwestern Deserts are home to many local native pollinators. Our landscapes, done right, can invite these natives into the city, as opposed fostering non-native species and driving natives towards extinction. Most of the landscape plants in this talk are low-water Sonoran, Mojave, and Chihuahuan Desert natives. This means that native pollinators know them, and in some cases have search images for them hard-wired in their genes.
