Wild and Free Container for Pollinators

Written by: Merrifield Education Team

This container is for gardeners who love the look of wildflowers in a meadow. Bright flowers give an airy feeling to the design, with local bees and butterflies alike enjoying the blooms. This container will perform best in full sun, so you will want to place it in a spot that receives at least 6 hours of sun per day.
