And famous scientists and explorers that used this technique\nIs it just like keeping a diary? How does it tie into science?\nWhat are some tips to get started? What about getting kids started?\nHow does this relate to the new science standards being taught in school?\n\nPlus, your home gardening questions:\nStarting a pollinator garden this fall\nCan we limb up trees during the fall?\nBattling yellow jackets that are eating fall raspberries\nAnd what are the hosts doing right now to prepare their landscapes and gardens for fall\n\nReferences \nhttps://iiseagrant.org/publications/full_sun_pollinator_garden/\n\nContact the hosts\nKen Johnson kjohnso@illinois.edu\nKatie Parker keparkr2@illinois.edu\nChris Enroth cenroth@illinois.edu","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/R8M4jy-2EktViSJpDBxEJL2IulcAlRJg8ktxlDJM3UA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQzNDE1LzE2ODk3/OTA0NTktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
