Step into the world of pollinators and invite them into your garden as you learn about and take home native plants to support them throughout the seasons. In this class, you’ll learn how to create a living sanctuary that supports pollinators through every stage of their life cycle. Explore the unique roles native plants can play in creating a vibrant space for many native bee and butterfly species, including plants that serve as essential hosts for caterpillars to feed and grow, and others that draw in and feed adult butterflies and moths.

With the addition of pollinator-friendly native plants, your garden will not only look beautiful, it will live, breathe, and resonate with the rhythms of nature. You’ll leave with five floriferous native plants and easy-to-use instructions to build your own transformative garden. Enjoy your new plants and the beautiful insects that will visit them throughout the season. Cost of class includes plants.

This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
