Awesome Annuals with Pollinator Potential
by Mark Dwyer
Presented in collaboration with Wild Ones - Door Peninsula Chapter
|
Plants in our gardens that support local pollinators are becoming more essential! Mark will share a wide range of seasonal plants for the bed, border and container. 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.

Glaciated regions of North America are devoid of native terrestrial earthworms. Earthworms such as the common nightcrawler and red worm are European species that arrived during settlement and have become naturalized. Jumping worms represent a second wave of invasion. Endemic to Japan and the Korean peninsula, these new earthworms are quickly invading deciduous forests in dozens of States.
