The Secret Pollinators

Winter Planning: Operation Flowerpot & Pollinator Paradise"


Listen Later

Season 1 finale! That Chicago scientist growing native serviceberries on his third-floor balcony? The bees found him. Research proves container gardens work EVERYWHERE - cities, suburbs, even HOA-restricted areas. This episode covers fall seed planting, cold stratification (easier than you think), overwintering your pots, and why ONE native plant matters for pollinator seasonal lifecycles. Whether you've got a balcony, patio, or single pot, winter is when you plan a pollinator paradise. Includes specific native plant recommendations and the science showing why flowerpots create stepping-stone habitat networks. One pot. One native plant. One person. Real conservation impact. Thank you for helping these tiny little heroes!
