- Pollinator Pathways: Using the Illinois Pollinator Website to Guide Action
Presented by Nicole Flowers-Kimmerle, Illinois Extension Horticulture Educator
Discover the world of Illinois pollinators and learn how to support them through gardening and conservation. This program will introduce the Illinois Pollinator website, a statewide resource for pollinator identification, habitat creation, and citizen engagement.
- Landscape Design with Natives: How to Avoid Growing a Jungle
Presented by Emily Swihart, Illinois Extension Horticulture Educator
Historically, home landscapes have reflected residents' needs—from food production to status symbols—often using non-native plants. Today, native plants are gaining popularity, but not all are suitable for home settings. In this session, Emily will cover design basics, selecting well-behaved native plants, and tips for managing native landscapes.
