This month, learn all about creating your own Butterfly Garden and other ways to attract pollinators. It’s really cool–plant beautiful things AND help our civilization continue to eat. Learn about attracting and sustaining a pollinator-friendly space with food and host plants.
It doesn’t matter if you are a new or experienced gardener, we would love to welcome you to the teaching garden at Empire Market this season. These classes are come and go–whether you have 15 minutes or an hour, our Master Gardeners can aid you!
Winter classes will be held in the market building.
