Join us for our next free Growing in the Garden talk!
CATERPILLARS AND THE NATIVE PLANTS THAT FEED THEM : ongoing work to analyze limited research literature to predict which natives would likely provide forage
Jo “Cirque” Stormer (they/them) is the nerd behind Nobody Nursery, a small grower in Des Moines WA building biodiversity by specializing in WA-native plants that are otherwise commercially-unavailable. They recently gave a brief presentation (hosted by the Kitsap Environmental Coalition) on the first iteration of this data project, and this longer talk at Kul Kah Han is an opportunity to dig deeper into the exciting second iteration of the data project.
Where: Kul Kah Han Native Plant Garden, HJ Carroll Park, Chimacum WA
When: Sunday July 19, 1pm
See flyer below for additional details
- Why are so many caterpillars highly-specialized to feed only on narrow groups of plants?
- What is the current state of scientific knowledge about these plant-Lepidoptera relationships in the region?
- How is Cirque going about analysis to predictively fill the knowledge gaps, in order to guide ecologically-driven plant selection?
Come listen and get the answers to these and more questions!
If you would like to purchase plants from Nobody Nursery, this is an opportunity to place an order for pick-up at the talk via the online store.
