Discover the Magic of Goldenrod: A Gift to Wildlife


with Francie Von Mertens.

Join Francie Von Mertens as she unveils why Doug Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home, celebrated the Goldenrod species as one of nature’s greatest gifts to wildlife as Francie presents In Praise of Goldenrods, in Gardens and Beyond

In this engaging session, you’ll learn:
-Which Goldenrod species are perfect for perennial gardens
-Which varieties are best left to field and woodland edged due to their spreading nature
-The incredible role Goldenrods play in supporting pollinators, especially native bees.

Francie, an active land conservation advocate, helped create a stunning pollinator garden at the Harris Center for Conservation Education in Hancock, NH. Her passion for nurturing landscapes that support pollinators has led her to discover the perfect harmony between native plants and pollinators, and she’s eager to share it with you!

Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your connection with nature and learn from an expert!
