ADULT PROGRAM

Pollinator-Friendly Vs. Ornamental Flowers
April 8, at 1:00 p.m.

Many people fill their gardens with over-hybridized plant varieties that have been bred for their ornamental value. Double blooms, exotic species, and other engineered qualities — while pretty — create plants that are difficult for all pollinators and can be detrimental to local habitats when cultivated in large numbers.

Maine Master Gardener Volunteer John Fromer will discuss varieties of flowering plants that are both beautiful and valuable to our local pollinators, give examples of non-pollinator friendly flowers.

This talk is part of the Rockport Library’s Spring Horticulture Series in partnership with Merryspring Nature Center.
