Do you like to eat? Do you enjoy beautiful flowers? Most of us would answer “yes” to both questions!
Food and beauty are just two reasons to encourage pollinators to party in your yard, as they help make these things happen. This weekend, we’re highlighting Florida native plants because they lead the way in bringing native pollinators to your garden.
We’re hosting a seminar where we’ll discuss host plants, nectar plants, and tips for designing and caring for your pollinator garden. Learn how to create a pollinator hangout, combining Florida native plants with some of your favorite flowers to attract butterflies and bees. And our staff would love to talk to you (any time!) about how to bring the most pollinators to your garden.
