Join Krystle Hickman in this informative Zoom lecture about native landscaping and native bees. Native garden The Crescent Farm, at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, is a excellent example of how to save native bees by supporting a healthy biodiverse ecosystem. To save the native bees we must save the native plants. In this talk, with examples from The Crescent Farm, you will learn about native bees and what you can do at home to help sustain them.
