Grow Wild: Spring Fling celebrates pollinator species, the habitats that support them, and the essential benefits they provide. During the event, Harford Land Trust (HLT) will distribute free giveaway items, including four varieties of perennial plant plugs, native tree whips, native wildflower seed packets and tote bags (while supplies last).
Attendees can explore a variety of vendors offering gardening supplies, crafts and nature-based goods, as well as engage with organizations focused on environmental education, gardening and conservation. The “Sprouts” area will feature hands-on children’s crafts and activities where they can learn more about pollinators.
