Swamp Milkweed
During Twilight Garden Tour of 2017 a question came up from some of the attendees, "Where do you find Swamp Milkweed?" That was the start of our inspiration to offer a Pollinator Garden Six Pack.

As we get excited to start planting and creating our gardens we have to remember patience is key.

Picture
Year one of your Pollinator Garden is going to require regular weeding and watering. Your plants will take root and begin to thrive.
Year two again will be a year of patience, weeding and watering.

Picture
Year three and beyond will bring you joy, beauty and a banquet for pollinators.
See you at the plant sale to pick up your Pollinator Six Pack!
