These will augment the “pollinator-friendly” perennials, trees and shrubs on the market.  Mark owns Landscape Prescriptions by MD, a landscape design and consulting business in Janesville, and manages a three-acre healing garden at a hospital. He was the Director of Horticulture at Rotary Botanical Gardens for 21 years.
