The Biggest Trend in 2017

Make no mistake,

THE biggest trend for 2017 is


planting to attract pollinators.

So, without further ado, we want to introduce a new 'product'

we have created to make your garden/yard a beacon for pollinators.

We're calling them "Gardens to Go",

and they are specially selected perennial plants

to attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.

There are selections for full sun, part sun/part shade, and full shade.

There are selections for rain gardens and rock gardens. 

In fact, the 2017 perennial of the year is Asclepias tuberosa, or milkweed.

Lest you doubt that this is really a trend,

consider:

For the first time, the US Fish and Wildlife has 

declared a bee species as endangered.

Cheerios has joined the nationwide effort

by raising awareness with Buzz Bee. 

They've launched a campaign called 

#BringBackTheBees 

and have pledged to send out

100 MILLION packets of wildflower seeds.

Pollinator week is coming up - won't you please

join the other gardeners in Ely to help create habitat 

for our six legged friends?
