Incorporating Native Plants into Your Yard
Shannon Trimboli
Native plants are growing in popularity among homeowners and gardeners. Not only are native plants adapted to our crazy weather and soils, they also provide valuable food and resources for pollinators and songbirds. This presentation is jam-packed with information about why native plants can be important additions to your garden, things to consider when purchasing and planting native plants, a few tips on growing native plants from seed, some native plants you might want to consider for your yard, and the pollinators or other wildlife that use those plants.

Shannon Trimboli is a beekeeper, wildlife biologist, author, farmer, and public speaker who lives in Barren County, Kentucky. In 2016, she started Busy Bee Nursery and Consulting which specializes in plants and habitat consulting services for honey bees, native pollinators, and wildlife conservation. Most of the plants she grows for Busy Bee Nursery and Consulting are native to Kentucky and Tennessee. Her first book, Plants Honey Bees Use in the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, was published in 2018. Shannon also writes a weekly blog about pollinators and backyard wildlife, tips for attracting pollinators and wildlife, highlights of different plants for pollinators and wildlife, and life on the farm and nursery.

The meeting will be via Zoom.
