Inviting Nature to Your Home Using Native Plants in Your Container Garden
A Demonstration to Attract Pollinators to Your Home

Presented by Rooted MTB & special guest Carol Markham, Conservationist at the Everwild Land Trust (formerly the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy)

Do you live in an apartment or have limited space to garden? Join us to learn how to create beautiful pollinator gardens for small spaces like balconies and front steps. Attendees will take home a native plant to add to an existing garden or to help you start a new one!
Conservationist Carol Markham will show us how to create and care for a container garden, how to mix natives with annuals, and answer questions like "what even is an annual or native?" One lucky attendee will get to take home the example garden she makes during the demonstration!
We will be gathering at the Small Pavilion at Taylor Jackson Park behind the Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler dealership. The closest parking lot will be off the side street, not the main parking lot.

This event is for you if you live somewhere with access to a small outdoor space or if you can no longer garden in beds but want a little something on your stoop or balcony.

Bring nature to your door -- this workshop will teach you how to include native plants in your container garden that will have the local pollinators dropping by to visit you! Carol will create a container garden consisting of bright annuals as well as a native plant to best support the local ecosystem.
Your ticket gets you into this informative event where you will take home a native plant to add to your garden. One lucky attendee will win the container that Carol puts together during our demonstration! There will be time for a Q+A session as well.
Space is limited, if you would like to join us, don't hesitate to save your spot!
