As birds, butterflies and bees become increasingly imperiled, more homeowners are creating gardens to nurture and sustain pollinators. These dynamic gardens not only support wildlife but also provide an attractive and healthy environment for people.

Learn to create an outdoor oasis for yourself and for pollinating creatures. The class includes a field trip to the Rice University Betty and Jacob Friedman Holistic Garden, the Urban Pocket Prairie and the Lynn Lowery Arboretum.

In 2018, Greg Whittaker embarked on a yearlong survey of Moody Gardens 240-acre property with the intent to showcase the diversity of species that use the habitats or can be viewed from Moody Gardens throughout the year. The adjacent 170-acre golf course was added to the surveys in late January 2018 and the project was informally called the “410 acre yearâ€.
