Planting for Pollinators sponsored by Piedmont Master Gardeners
Tuesday, June 7 | 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm | Free: Register
The Center at Belvedere
Growing native plants is one of the best ways to promote biodiversity and create healthy habitat for pollinators and wildlife. Even if you live in an apartment or townhome, you can still support pollinators by growing native pollinator plants on a patio or balcony in pots or in a small flower bed. Learn about the newly planted pollinator beds and pots at The Center and get ideas for creating your own gardens and pots using plants that will attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other vital pollinators. This in-person program is hosted by the Piedmont Master Gardeners and The Center at Belvedere and is free and open to all. Register online.
