Native Plant & Pollinator Garden Tour

Date: Saturday, July 19th

Time: 9:00 am to 10:00 am

Location: Home of the park's Biologist

Fees: No Fees

Join us for a different kind of garden tour at the home of Hopewell Culture NHP's Park Biologist, Danfa Reiner. Learn how a small backyard within city limits can become a safe haven for birds, butterflies and other native pollinators. We will demonstrate techniques and low-cost strategies for transforming lawn to wildflowers and horticultural plantings to a native plant oasis. Also on display will be potted plants and native seed packets which will be raffled amongst the program participants. Not only is this program educational, fun and free, but you may go home with a native plant or seed packet to help you start your own backyard native garden. Rain or shine.

PLEASE NOTE: Space for this event is limited. Please call the Visitor Center to reserve your spot at (740) 774-1126.
