CALENDAR P HOTO BY MIK E SHE A H A N Amid the thousands of plants you can purchase this weekend at the Lane County Master Gardeners Plant Sale and Garden Fair you can find something a vast number of those plants need: bees. More specifically the folks from Healthy Bees = Healthy Gardens will be there promoting ways to help bees and other pollinators. Jen and Doug Hornaday suggest allowing veggies like “broccoli, kale and lettuce go to flower to help finish their life cycle and go to seed, and help feed the pollinators,” as well as creating pesticide-free spaces and providing water for bees to drink. Healthy Bees = Healthy Gardens will be featuring “freshly harvested local healthy spring honey to taste and buy that is helpful for allergies. They will also be selling native bee houses that were designed and built by Jen Hornaday along with the 4th graders at the Village School, and “100 percent of the proceeds will go toward the bee education program.” For more on your local plants and pollinators, put on your gardening gloves and wander over to the Lane County Fairgrounds this weekend.
