Master Gardeners will be at the Mill at Kingstown with our Ask A Master Gardener Plant Clinic that will focus on Pollinators. Learn what pollinators need and how easily you can provide it. Some steps are as simple as leaving the leaves or switching out a patio lightbulb. To make that very switch, they will have an insect-friendly lightbulb to offer the first 20 visitors to their tent (one per household, thank you). Everyone can protect pollinators!
