All additional materials, ribbon, and baskets are to be purchased by participant.

Bring back the bees!

   Improve fruit production in your fruit trees by starting your own Orchard Mason bee colony. Mason bees are non-aggressive and highly effective pollinators. They are valuable because they begin pollinating weeks before honey bees as well as helping to make up for the decline in the honeybee populations.
   We invite you to join special guest Lisa Novich of Knox Cellars here at Bainbridge Gardens on March 2 to discuss this beneficial native pollinator. We also carry the supplies that you need to get started: nesting tubes, shelters and the live bees themselves.

EASTER IS EARLY, MARCH 23

   We are hoppin' full of ideas to fill your
Easter basket. Create a living Easter basket by starting some grass seed. (Kids love this project, as do cats!) Sign up for our class on Living Easter Baskets for more ideas. We also have ready-to-go container gardens to bring instant color and texture to your front porch or desk. Please note that we will be closed Easter Sunday, March 23.
