Update on FLC’s Pollinator Patch at the Harris Farm
In honor of #NationalPollinatorWeek, FLC staff would like to share an update of our ‘Native Pollinator Patch’ at the Harris Farm. A variety of blooms have really taken off this month and they are attracting quite a diverse group of pollinator species. Check out our gallery of images and visit FLC’s Gardens & Habitat’s page and related Resources page to learn more!
