Pollinator Gardening for Shaded Areas
Saturday, November 22, 2025
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Water Resources Education Center
4600 SE Columbia Way, Vancouver WA
Join us for a hands-on workshop and volunteer experience all about creating pollinator-friendly gardens in shady spaces.
During the indoor workshop, experts from the Vancouver Bee Project will share their knowledge of Pacific Northwest native plants, with a focus on species that thrive in shade. Participants will learn practical tips for transforming grass lawns into vibrant pollinator gardens or habitat patches, supporting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
After the presentation, we’ll head outdoors to the Water Center garden area to put our learning into practice by planting shade-tolerant native plants and improving habitat for local pollinators.
No experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to get your hands in the soil!
Advanced registration is required. Sign up today to reserve your spot.
What to bring: Weather-appropriate clothing, gloves if you have them, and a reusable water bottle. All ages are welcome.
