Thanks to Ruth Inglis-Widrick for hosting a tour of her Fort Collins pollinator paradise garden. Attendees were charmed by the abundance of bumblebees, flowers and trees. Ruth also shared how she grew from a novice gardener into a passionate advocate for native bees by transforming her home landscape and connecting to her local community.
