pollinators

Garden enthusiasts are sharing photos of the Indian blanket flower (Gaillardia pulchella), a bright red-and-yellow bloom native to North America. The flower, popular in pollinator gardens for its hardiness and long flowering season, is being celebrated under gardening and flower-sharing communities as people post colourful blooms and swap cultivation tips.

The Wood Soil & Water Conservation District in Ohio will hold a free workshop on native pollinators and wildlife habitat. The event is aimed at helping local landowners and residents learn how to support bees, butterflies and other wildlife through native plantings and habitat practices. Registration details and dates are being shared through local news coverage in the Bowling Green area.
