Pollinator Plants for All Types of Gardens, with Carrie Stanker
Tuesday 04-21-26 07:00 pm (Eastern)
Location: Virtual Via Zoom
Join us for this free Zoom program and learn about a variety of great landscape plants that grow under various conditions and provide food sources and/or habitat for pollinators. Many of these plants will be available at this year’s Friends Plant Sale.
Carrie Stanker is co-owner of Sunset Farmstead, a wholesale plant nursery in Columbus, NJ. Sunset Farmstead is sustainably growing perennials and grasses that benefit pollinators, without the use of insecticides and fungicides. Their plants are safe for pollinators and safe for the environment!
