Bee sweet to our pollinators! Create a smorgasbord of beautiful blooming plants and butterfly host plants that provide much-needed habitat for pollinators, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
With an emphasis on native plants, these lively gardens are full of color, support wildlife, and bring you delight throughout the season. Whether you are planting one porch pot or acreage…every little bit helps. Plant it and they will come!
We’ll discuss the basic needs of any pollinator garden, how to enhance the effectiveness of your pollinator habitat, and touch on certifying your Pollinator Habitat through Asheville-Bee City USA. Questions are welcome!
One garden at a time, every little bit of habitat we create makes our world a better place.
**Our classroom space is limited. If your plans change and you are unable to attend, please cancel your ticket in Eventbrite so that others may have your space. Thank you for your consideration!
