Pollinator Pocket Kit: Hot & Dry 1
Pollinator Pocket Kits include plants native to Wisconsin, selected to help create habitat and encourage beneficial insects within your garden.
Plant them together as a “pocket” or weave them into existing beds to add diversity. These perennial native plants will return each year and establish best with regular watering during their first growing season.
Each kit includes five “plugs” or starter plants:
Kits are free, with a suggested donation of $25 to support future habitat projects.
