Did you know, you don't have to have an in-ground garden or huge yard to support pollinators? Join us for a guest speaker and interactive presentation to learn about pollinator friendly plants that can grow well in containers. Bring your favorite pot or container to the workshop to get started. This workshop is open to gardeners of all ages and skill levels, ages under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. If you don't have a pot, you can still join in on the fun but let us know if you will be bringing a pot or container to the workshop.
