SUMMARY:MNPS Presents...Making your Garden a Biodiversity Hotspot - online
DESCRIPTION:Making Your Garden a Biodiversity Hotspot: A Practical Guide\nw/Elliott Conrad of Pipilo Native Plants\nIn an increasingly homogenous\, monocultured world\, we have the power to create diverse\, complex ecosystems. Whether you are working with a few square feet or an entire property\, the principles are the same. In this engaging online presentation you’ll learn to take advantage of the resources and conditions already available to you to maximize what you have to offer pollinators and all the species that rely on them. Get ready to: \n\nExamine microsites – what they are\, how to find them in a garden setting\, and how to create new ones.\nExplore how to observe our natural world and translate those observations into garden equivalents.\nLook at the role of seasonal changes in your garden\, and why just having pretty flowers isn’t the end game for diverse garden ecosystem.\n\nRegister in advance for this online meeting \nAfter registering\, you will receive an email containing information about joining the meeting. \nABOUT OUR PRESENTER:\nElliott Conrad took the scenic route to growing plants full time. He has been a developmental engineer for the US Air Force\, a fire ecologist for the US Forest Service\, and a free-lance graphic artist. He sees growing native plants and restoring native plant communities as the perfect blend of art and science\, and (for better or worse) can’t help but frame things from an ecologist’s point of view. \nHe holds a B.S. in astronautical engineering from the United States Naval Academy and a B.A. in biology from the University of Montana.  A military brat\, he hails from nowhere in particular but has made Montana his home since 2012. He is the owner of Pipilo Native Plants in Charlo\, MT. \nABOUT MNPS PRESENTS:\nThis monthly online series features live presentations on a wide range of topics related to preserving\, conserving and studying Montana’s native flora. Programs are held October through March. MNPS members receive Zoom registration details via email; if you are not currently a member please consider supporting MNPS by joining today!
