Check out the beautiful blooms at the Livingston County Extension office! This year, Master Gardeners added a mix of drought-tolerant plants to the office planters, and they are thriving 🌼Container gardens can be a great option for smaller garden spaces, while still supporting pollinators. Consider using a mix of different plant heights and colors to add dimension to your pot. The combination of plants this year featured Dusty Miller, Blue Salvia, Lantana, Pentas, and Moss Rose.
