Gardeners, nature lovers, and anyone inspired to make a positive environmental impact are invited to a special educational event celebrating native plants and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

On Saturday, March 28, Inland Bays Garden Center in Frankford, Delaware will host a collaborative morning dedicated to native gardening, meadow restoration, and habitat creation. The event is presented in partnership with Wild Ones Delmarva, a newly established chapter of the national Wild Ones organization that promotes environmentally sound landscaping through education and community engagement.

The featured speaker will be Helen Raleigh of Story Hill Farm, who will share the inspiring story behind her work transforming open fields into thriving native meadows that support pollinators and wildlife.
