Want to start small as you venture into the world of pollinator gardens?
The perfect first step is creating a pollinator garden in a pot! Join Longwood Horticulturist Clay Stradley in creating an eye-catching, mini garden perfect for the “pollinator garden curious” that want to welcome pollinators to their backyard, patio, front steps, and more. Learn what plants attract pollinators, how to care for your pollinator container garden, and take home your very own mini garden to admire and attract biodiversity.
