Proceeds from the Spring Gala provide essential support for the Garden—sustaining collections\, programs\, and the well-being of our community and staff. \n\n\nThe evening’s menu will be designed and prepared by Patina Restaurant Group.

SUMMARY:Ecological Landscape Alliance Eco-tour: Gardening for Insects: Native Pollinator Garden
DESCRIPTION:The Ecological Landscape Alliance invites you to tour the private gardens of landscape designer and pollinator expert\, Thomas Berger. \n\n\nWhen choosing plants to support insects in our gardens\, we want to make the most of our limited space. Which plants nourish the most species? And which kinds of insects need our support most urgently? \n\n\nThomas Berger has been designing landscapes for insects for more than twenty years in his own gardens and client gardens. Thomas pays particular attention to providing for two groups of insects: \n\n\nThe caterpillars of butterflies and moths (lepidoptera)\, which are an important part of the wildlife food chain.The pollinators\, especially native bees that fulfill the essential function of pollinating not only our food crops but also native plants and thus contribute to their survival.Our goal for any garden should be to provide habitat for the largest possible number of insect species. Thomas Berger’s gardens demonstrate effective habitat that provide joy and beauty for humans as well. \n\n\nJoin us for a unique opportunity to explore the private gardens of an inspiring insect specialist\, landscape designer\, and passionate nature photographer.
