Program Description
Event Details
Penn State Extension Master Gardeners presenter, Colleen Emmerling will be sharing all about container ponds!
Go beyond a basic birdbath supplying water to wildlife!
Increase and support biodiversity in your urban yard, deck, or patio by adding a “pond in a pot” that you can enjoy for 3 seasons. Learn about the steps—from container selection, plant choices, and overwintering—to create a habitat for bugs, birds, and small wildlife to find food and shelter in addition to water. Pollinators welcome! (No electricity or fish needed.)
