Planting a Pollinator Garden
With urbanization and the ongoing loss of key prairies and landscapes, our native bees' and butterflies' habits are disappearing. These pollinators are critical for maintaining our crops as well as our home gardens. Join us to learn how to create a garden of native plants to attract, feed and house these critical pollinators. There are numerous native plant varieties to choose from. Learn how native plants also use less water, need less maintenance, and yet flourish. Learn to create a beautiful natural space for you and future generations. Must sign up through Anoka Community Education.
