[FULL] Native Bee Workshop with Krystle Hickman

Join recent Poppy Hour guest Krystle Hickman in person at TPF for a special walk and talk on native bees, their relationships with native plants, and a BioBlitz in TPF’s demonstration gardens. Krystle will also share tips on how to take great photos of bees with your camera or mobile device.

This class will be held outdoors in TPF demonstration gardens. We ask guests to prepare for walking on steep, uneven surfaces. Water bottles and sun protection are also strongly encouraged.
