The Escambia County Master Gardener Volunteer Program invites the public to learn about designing a landscape to attract pollinators in a free and educational event Saturday, March 23, at 9 a.m. The event will take place at the Escambia Extension Offices, 3740 Stefani Road, Cantonment, Fla.
Local plant expert Emily Peterson will start off the event with a talk on "Artfully Adding Pollinator Plants to the Landscape," followed by an opportunity to visit exhibits and demonstrations in the garden from 10 a.m. to noon. Exhibition topics include pollinator houses, making a container garden for pollinators, and starting milkweed and other pollinator seeds. Please note space is limited for Peterson's educational session.
In addition, the Master Gardener Volunteers will have a small pollinator plant sale from 10:45-11:30 a.m. Cash or checks will be accepted. Other vendors and exhibitors include the Native Plant Company, which will have plants for sale, the Escarosa Beekeepers Association, and ECUA.
For more information, please contact Beth Bolles at 850-475-5230, ext. 1104, or bbolles@ufl.edu.
