Join us on Saturday, April 18, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., as we welcome the Piedmont Master Gardeners for a FREE program on choosing and growing native plants to support pollinators. Flowering native plants add beauty to gardens and provide crucial support for bees and other pollinators facing decline due to habitat loss, pesticide overuse, and climate change. Learn about some tried-and-true flowering natives for your garden and the resources for finding and maintaining them. We’ll also touch on native plant garden design to optimize ecological benefits.
Space is limited. Registration closes at 5 p.m. April 17 or when the class is full. Sign up for this FREE event at https://highland.org/garden-bees.
