Pollinator Paradise Workshop with Daniel Calzadilla

Come learn about creating habitat and building a paradise for pollinators in South Florida, with a container garden and plant propagation workshop. The seminar will cover how and why to support all pollinators via ecologically based gardening. Learn what plants, focusing on natives, are best to use to provide forage and habitat for all pollinators.

Everything you need to start, including essential pruning, gardening tools, seeds, and equipment, will be displayed and explained.

Daniel is a native Floridan with a particular affinity and commitment to studying ecosystems to preserve and give back to the communities through research, outreach, and engagement. He graduated from FIU in 2018 with a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Sustainability and a certificate in Agroecology, and also became a certified beekeeper. In 2023 he graduated from the University of Florida with a Master of Science in Agronomy and a concentration in Agroecology. Daniel has assisted in many colony rescues and swarm relocations and launched the company Bee Wranglers in 2020. His work as a beekeeper goes beyond the apiary. He uses the platform to advocate for all pollinators and discuss ways to build habitats and support biodiversity. Soon, he plans to develop a small piece of land in Homestead into an agroecological educational farm.
