April is Ohio Native Plant Month and we're introducing a new mix for 2021! The Pocket Pollinator Garden Mix was designed to turn small areas of your lawn into pollinator habitat with shorter growing grasses and wildflowers. Plant this mix in areas that receive at least 6 hours of sunlight a day and watch it come alive over time with bees, butterflies, birds and more! Contains a mix of annual and perennial wildflowers and shorter growing native grasses.
This year Ohio Native Plant Month like to see how much lawn area in Ohio we can convert to healthy native plant habitats. If you replace some lawn in 2021, please write to send us a picture (no people please) and tell us the number of square feet you converted. Pictures can be emailed to OhioNativePlantMonth@gmail.com
Creating a bed for these seeds is easy! Here's how to Prep a Bed for Seeding or watch our tutorial on YouTube.
