Kenny Kerkhof of Newberry and fellow beekeeper will be at the downtown Farmers Market in Marquette this Saturday, June 30th. He will have an assortment of wildflower plugs available for purchase. I plan on picking up some to plant in my open areas around the hives. Here is a list of what he will be bringing.
Black-eyed Susan
Common Milkweed
Wild Bergamot
Wild Lupine
Blue Vervain
Blue Flag Iris
Swamp milkweed
These should really give a boost to increasing our “pasture” for pollinators.
