Gardening for Pollinators and Wildlife: Fall Activities

August 18 @ 2:00 pm 4:00 pm CDT

Presentation:

Gardening for Pollinators and Wildlife: Fall Activities

Learn how to prepare your pollinator and wildlife gardens (or larger habitats) for the fall and winter. We’ll have lots of time for questions and discussions about how to apply the principles I share to your unique situation.

Native plants and other items available:

Fall is the best time to plant native perennial wildflowers, trees, shrubs, vines, and grasses. I’ll have a selection of our native plants available for purchase before and after the presentation. All of our plants are native to the state of Kentucky and have never had any pesticides applied to them.

In addition to the plants available for general purchase, we will also be accepting pre-orders. Pre-orders are a great way to make sure we have exactly what you want because we can only fit so many plants in the car. See below for how to place a pre-order.

Thank you for supporting our local, small business.
