When we hear the word pollinator, most of us think of a bee.  Join Tanya Olsen, owner of Royal City Nursery in Guelph, to find out what other unsung heroes are found pollinating your crops this season.  From lacewings to hummingbirds, squirrels to hover flies (and yes, even the dreaded wasp) these creatures all play a significant part in our lives.  In addition to learning about some of lessor known pollinators, we will discuss how to create an ecosystem in your garden that will not only attract them the first time, but sustain them for the foreseeable future.
