The classes are designed to create beautiful gardens but also help control storm water and attract butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. We need to support pollinators by planting native gardens and plants that attract animals, birds, and insects including bees and butterflies. This will provide food, shelter areas and a safe habitat for them. We also need to educate the community about the importance of pollinators in our natural environment as well as our gardens. JJC provides these ideas through its continuing education programs held each semester.
