Ruth Droescher, ambassador for the Xerces Society will introduce you to the diversity and natural history of America’s native bees, and present straightforward ways in which you can make your garden—or neighborhood or city—a pollinator haven. Learn how to evaluate your own landscape to determine how to make changes that will have the most beneficial impact and protect the local watershed. Find out how to select flowers, provide nest sites, and why you should avoid pesticides. There are also community science projects to join in and other ways to engage your community."

"A free spirit and musical devotion have made Mary Fagan a true original with wide ranging influences. Backing herself solidly on guitar or piano, she floats seamlessly from jazz to folk, blues and rock. Influences range from Duke Ellington to The Grateful Dead, you can't fit her into just one musical category. But no matter what she plays, you will be captivated. Her voice delivers like it was forged in the blues then dipped in velvet."
