Spring Plant Fair Talk | Plants for Solitary Bees

This talk is part of our Spring Plant Fair programme.

The importance of plants for pollinators in urban environments is vital.

This talk with Benny Hawksbee will help you understand which plants to choose, the wide variety of pollinators, the importance of providing food and habitat for solitary bees and a basic solitary bee ID so you can spot any that come to your garden.
