Wild by Design: Crafting Aesthetic Meadows in Pots, Beds, and Backyards to Support Our Pollinators
2026-07-28 17:30 - 18:30
Whether you have a sweeping backyard or a single sunny balcony, you have the power to support our local pollinators. Join Mark Gostkiewicz of Tri Gable Lea Farm for a practical and rewarding look at how we can bring nature back into our home spaces through intentional design. This isn’t just about letting the grass grow; it’s about using thoughtful strategies to create habitats that look as good to us as they do to the bees and butterflies.
Mark will present a “Menu of Possibilities”—a streamlined set of ideas that allow you to start where you are. From using containers to create “Micro-Meadows” on your deck to transforming a traditional lawn into a living tapestry of native plants, you’ll learn how to build a pollinator-friendly world that fits your specific space and lifestyle.
