Happy Pollinator Week! To celebrate, join me on garden stroll.

Follow me down the garden path on this virtual habitat tour created for a special event yesterday with Howard County Bee City in central Maryland.

In this video you’ll learn many tips for addressing common challenges, including:

• creative planting strategies for coexisting with deer and other mammals
• nurturing vigorous native species that provide food and shelter while also inhibiting the spread of invasive plants
• filling large spaces on a budget by recruiting natives that volunteer in your habitat
• … and much more!

To learn about small-space pollinator gardening, watch the full event, which features a virtual tour of the townhouse pollinator garden of Julie Costantino, who leads the Bee City campaign for the Howard County Office of Community Sustainability:
