Judith Alberts will be presenting: If You Plant it, They Will Come - Gardening for Our Pollinators
The presentation will be given in the Ewing Room at the Wood Library in Canandaigua at 7 PM on Thursday, November 6, 2025.
The Monarch butterfly is the poster child of pollinators and milkweed is in high demand at garden centers everywhere. But what about all the other butterflies, moths, and bees that are threatened by habitat loss? Learn about plants that attract and support swallowtails, Red Admirals, Skippers, and more. Virginia Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Emerita Judith Alberts shares here photographs to illustrate her citizen scientist's approach to raising wild butterflies and cultivating native plants.
* A note about our previously scheduled event for this date: CONGRATULATIONS to Sophie! She's been hired for a job out of state with the International Crane Foundaation. Sadly, this means she will not be in NY in November. We hope to have Sophie present the jumping worms program for us in 2026.
