Pollinator Waystations: Container Gardening for Nature

  • The Civic Garden Center 2715 Reading Road Cincinnati, OH, 45206 United States (map)

If you don't have a lot of outdoor space, can you still support our local ecosystem? Yes, you absolutely can!

In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn about and assemble your own pollinator-friendly planter. We'll explore how to grow in containers, the growing medium to choose, how to water and fertilizer your planter, and which native flowering plants to grow to attract pollinators and wildlife. You'll leave with your own small planter and 2-3 flowers that you planted yourself.

This beginner-friendly class is geared toward those who don't have a full garden but would like to grow something on a porch or patio to support their local ecosystem.

You may bring your own small planter (10” or 12”) or one will be provided for you. A selection of native plants will be available as well. Plants will require full sun. Please be prepared to work with your hands and to get lightly dirty or wet.
