Beekeepers and Gardeners, you can make a difference in your environment. How? Turn your property from a food desert into a food oasis for pollinators. You will also attract a wide variety of birds and butterflies into your garden. Ohio State Beekeepers Association is partnering with OPN Seed to help you make an easy choice. This blend is appropriate for urban/suburban gardens by providing colorful native perennial blooms for pollinator nourishment from Spring through Fall.

• This packet covers 250 square feet (a 10 x 25 area) and will take up to three growing seasons to fully establish.
