Promise of Spring Lecture:

Beautiful Landscapes for Pollinator & Wildlife Habitat

Lecture presented by James Gagliardi, Garden Director of the Bellevue Botanical Garden

Gardens can be an oasis for many pollinator and bird species. Join James Gagliardi as he shares stories of creating successful habitats and educating the public, while showing beautiful images of gardens where he's worked. During this presentation James will share plants you can use in your own garden to support a healthy ecosystem for wildlife.

Wildlife habitat was a particular focus of James when he served as the lead horticulturist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. There he cared for the Pollinator Garden and led the design and installation of the Urban Bird Habitat. James served on a national Presidential taskforce to increase pollinator habitat around federal buildings. At Smithsonian Gardens he led the creation of an interpretive panel series The Pollination Investigation which he later travelled to Slovenia, Hungary, and Estonia to install in local botanical gardens as a guest of the US Embassies in those countries. The panels were also turned into a poster series that was distributed for free to 1,000 schools. 


This is BOTH an IN-PERSON lecture at the Bellevue Botanical Garden - AND an online Zoom WEBINAR. See details below!

IN-PERSON LECTURE - This is a first-come, first-seated event - limited to 150 chairs and some standing room. We recommend you arrive when the doors open at noon, save a seat, shop at our Plant Sale, and then tour the NPA Perennial Border to see Daffodils in bloom. Refreshments will be served. No registration needed to attend in-person.

ZOOM WEBINAR - This is a live-streaming event, using Zoom's webinar service. If you wish to watch this lecture via ZOOM, you must REGISTER by clicking the register button on this website page. Our presenters will be screen-sharing their slideshow presentation from the podium while giving their live in-person lecture. Zoom Webinar attendees will be able to see their slides and hear their comments, but won't be able to ask questions via Zoom. A Zoom RECORDING will be shared with those who register.
