Favorite Natives for Pollinators
- Fayette County Extension OfficeIn this session we will discuss some of the better native flower choices for gardens. Planting natives for pollinators is quite popular and a great step toward protecting these valuable resources. Every great pollinator plant is not necessarily a well-behaved landscape choice. We will steer you to some pollinator favorites that also are great for gardeners. Take home a small plant for your pollinator garden. You must attend the class to receive the plant, which will be distributed at the end of class. Cost: Free, but must register in advance to reserve a seat.
