Pollinators: Gardening for the Little Heroes of Our Planet

Join UF/IFAS Extension Polk County Master Gardener Volunteers to learn all about pollinators. We will be talking about who the pollinators are and how to attract them to your yard, the right plants and other things they need to thrive. We will provide updates on monarchs (one of our favorite pollinators to see in the garden) and milkweed plants. You'll have the opportunity to create a small pollinator hotel. Easy and so much fun to watch! Pollinator Week is June 16-23, so get an early start on your celebration! There is an option to purchase a separate ticket to create a pollinator container garden to add beauty and get a jumpstart on bringing pollinators to your yard.

LOCATION INFORMATION: The Stuart Center is the southernmost building on the UF/IFAS Extension Campus. There is parking on the east side of the building which is the front of the Stuart. You can access this parking from a drive that runs along the south side of the complex. It is accessible from the front parking area.

Workshop is presented by UF/IFAS Extension Polk County Master Gardener Volunteers.

An equal opportunity institution.

Info: We will answer the question of who are the pollinators and what can you do to make them feel welcome in your yard. Everyone will have the opportunity to create a small pollinator hotel to take home during this time.

Info: Starting with an 11-12 inch pot, and using what we learned earlier in the morning, we will create a container garden to take home that will help attract pollinators to your yard. Choose from a variety of plants and have fun digging in the dirt in the air conditioned Stuart Center! All supplies provided. This is a separate ticket.
