Nesting & Overwintering HABITAT FOR Pollinators & insECTS
Presentation by Kim Pesche of Pesche’s Florist and Garden Center
At Our October meeting, Kim Pesche of Pesche’s Florist and Garden Center provided us a very informative presentation. Kim showed us ways to do a little fall clean up, but leave most of the good things for the birds, small insects, even butterfly es to survive on over the winter.
Kim has shared some of her very informative information from the Xerces Society website.

Kim says go to their friendly gardening practices website and you will find the entire 12 page document including the excellent photos she shared.
Her passion to project wildlife was very evident. NO mulching those leaves.
Leave them to the tiny parts of nature to survive under.
Our club members helped some of the residents create a “VALENTINE HEART”.
The hearts had cute net fabric on a wire frame which were decorated with flowers and ornaments.
When the hearts were done the residents enjoyed them in their rooms for Valentine’s Day.
It was a great success to share some LOVE!
Great Job Team!
