Practice conservation on a small scale. Native plants in pots, large or small, provide the gift of food security and shelter, and increase the success of native pollinators impacted by a disappearing habitat. Learn how to choose appropriate native plants for pots in shade and sun, how to properly transplant flowers and grasses, what potting soil to use, and general seasonal maintenance.
Birds, bees, butterflies, and biodiversity need your backyard, patio, porch, or balcony in order to survive. This presentation will show you how to practice conservation on a small scale. Native plants in pots, large or small, provide the gift of food security and shelter, and increase the success of native pollinators impacted by a disappearing habitat. You will learn how to choose appropriate native plants for pots in shade and sun, how to properly transplant flowers and grasses, what potting soil to use, and general seasonal maintenance. No matter how small the patch of potted flowers, it bridges the empty spaces in the crucial nectar corridor.
