Join us Wednesday, June 1, 7:00 p.m. at the Central Library Vegetable Garden for a Garden Talk on Beauty and the Bees, presented by Lynn Kristianson and Don Weber.
Can you "bring nature home" in Arlington? Definitely! Find out how to start with this workshop.
Planting annual flowers and native perennial flowering plants not only makes your garden beautiful, it's also attracts beneficial pollinators, such as butterflies and native stingless bees. Learn about a variety of perennials, their preferred conditions and their flowering times, and which ones attract birds, bees, and other beneficial insects.
Lynn Kristianson has developed the Perennial Garden at the Central Library, and native perennial gardens at several other locations in Arlington. Don Weber is an entomologist and one of the volunteers at the Vegetable and Herb Garden at the Central Library.
