Transform your outdoor space into a buzzing sanctuary! Join us for a hands-on workshop dedicated to the art of Pollinator Container Gardening. Learn how to select and pair specific flowers and herbs that do double duty: attracting beautiful beneficial insects like bees and butterflies, while naturally deterring unwanted pests like mosquitoes and flies. Whether you have a sprawling deck or a small apartment balcony, these containers will enhance the beauty and ecological value of your home.
🌸 Why Attend?
Eco-Friendly Design: Learn which plant combinations support local pollinator populations.
Natural Pest Control: Discover how to use herbs to keep the "uninvited" bugs away.
Master the Basics: We’ll cover essential maintenance, from watering tips to repotting, to ensure your retreat thrives all season long.
