About this Event

Pollinators are in serious decline, with fewer and fewer visiting our gardens never mind making their homes in our gardens. Planting a wide variety of flowering plants with different shapes, colours & fragrance will attract those necessary insects, providing both pollen & nectar for them

In the workshop, learn about:

· Who are our pollinators and what they need in a garden

· Types of containers, growing medium and amendments

· Best flowering plants to attract a variety of pollinators

· Techniques for transplanting seedlings into containers

· Care of your container- watering, fertilizers, pruning and harvesti

Then plant up a container with a selection of flowers to take home to grace your garden that attract those pollinators to your garden!

Plus take home a copy of either the Prairie Gardeners Go-To for Perennials or Small Spaces

Proceeds of the workshop will be donated to the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation

See you there! 🎄
