Did you know many of your flowering vegetable plants produce pollen and nectar that help feed our pollinators?

The pollinators can help many of your favorite vegetables produce bigger and tastier vegetables.

Learn how you can maximize these relationships so you can benefit from better crop yields.

Today’s Hydrangeas Workshop is scheduled for 6:30-8:30 p.m. Sept.18 at Northampton Community College - Fowler Family Southside Center, Room 523, 511 E 3rd St., Bethlehem.

This presentation will cover the types, care and pruning of hydrangeas.

Gardeners need to know the type of hydrangea they are growing as that will influence when and how it should be pruned in order to obtain the best blooms along with the optimal conditions required.

This talk will cover the proven varieties which have been used for years along with some of the newest exciting varieties being produced for bloom color and dependability.

The Pollinators and Your Vegetable Garden, A Symbiotic Relationship and Today’s Hydrangeas workshops are free and open to the public.
