Looking to make your gardens more habitat-friendly? Do you have beehives and want to improve honey yield? Learn how to build biodiversity with cold-hardy plants suitable for Vermont including elderberry, viburnum, chokeberry, sweet pepperbush, and many herbaceous perennials which make stunning landscape plants. Take a close look at what’s growing in the Pollinator Garden at the University of Vermont’s Horticulture, Education & Research Center in South Burlington and get a tour of my home garden which is certified as a Backyard Habitat with the National Wildlife Federation and supports a very busy beehive.
