Pollinator Workshop

Planters are great for attracting hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies to your home garden and will be heat tolerant and deer-resistant! You’ll have rewarding blooms and visitors all season long.

After the workshop, guests are welcome to wander the fields to pick a bundle of lavender to take home as well!

Workshop includes:

• Planting a showy pollinator-friendly planter
• Conversation on plants for pollinator conservation, like the wonderful monarch butterfly and more
• Conversation on growing and caring for lavender
• Baby lavender plant
• U-Pick lavender bundle

Whitney Hartman, local HS science teacher, MA Biology, and owner of Hartman Lavender Garden (Monarch Joint Venture partner), will guide the class in learning about plants for pollinator conservation and how invertebrate and plant mechanisms work.

We’ll cover topics such as:

• Pollinator Waystations
• Local and migratory pollinator species
• Host, nectar, and pollen producing plants
• Soil prep, selecting plants for our zone
• Planting inspiration for the popular Monarch Butterfly and more
• Lavender growing and care talk in the lavender fields

Your planter will include: 3 pollinator plants (1 gal, 2 quart sized), 1 small Milkweed plant, and we’ll provide all the supplies you need (except for gloves, bring your own if you’d like!)
