Butterflies and moths are essential, fascinating, hardworking insects with amazing pollinating abilities, but they face a wide range of threats. Join author and eco-landscape designer Eileen Stark to discover how to welcome, support, and protect them throughout all of their life cycles by restoring native habitat and using ecological design principles, while eliminating toxins and other hazards. The essence of a successful garden lies not only in its ability to look beautiful, but also in its capacity to nurture life that’s in danger of being lost forever.

Eileen will sign her book “Real Gardens Grow Natives: Design, Plant, and Enjoy a Healthy Northwest Garden” following the presentation.

Clark County Utilities’ Pollinator Festival runs from 10 am to 4 pm on June 24.
Douglas Tallamy will be keynote speaker at 1 pm.
